I've been trying various methods to get SQLite working in Windows using the etc.c.sqlite3 bindings, but I can't figure out how to get everything in a form that DMD likes. GCC doesn't seem to output anything that OPTLINK can use, and I can't use the standard DLL build without creating a .LIB file from it, which apparently isn't an easy task. I can't remember if I've tried compiling SQLite with DMC, but I'd rather avoid that option because it would require a custom Makefile. Maybe objcopy has an option that would help...

Has anyone managed to get the library working on Windows?

have you tried feed import lib to coffimplib tool to make omf format lib for optlink? ftp://ftp.digitalmars.com/coffimplib.zip

I have a huge project with D1 using the old DDBI project in dsource:

http://dsource.org/projects/ddbi

It would be nice if someone with time will port it to D2.  IHTH.

Actually, my current project is basically along those lines. It currently only has a partial interface and an SQLite driver for now, though, and the interface will probably be quite different from DDBI's (largely for performance reasons).

Download their windows binaries and use Digital Mars implib tool with /system switch.

Man, I wish I'd known about that tool a while ago...

It seems to be working, but it looks like I'll need to recompile the DLL myself; DMD is looking for symbols mangled with a leading underscore, but the DLL has unmangled symbols, so optlink still complains.

Oh; never mind. I forgot the /system switch. Now I feel like an idiot. :)
