## Installation of SQLite

If you downloaded the optional documentation, issue the following command to install the documentation into the source tree:

    unzip -q ../sqlite-doc-3270100.zip

Install SQLite by running the following commands:

    ./configure --prefix=/usr     \
                --disable-static  \
                --enable-fts5     \
                CFLAGS="-g -O2                    \
                -DSQLITE_ENABLE_FTS3=1            \
                -DSQLITE_ENABLE_FTS4=1            \
                -DSQLITE_ENABLE_COLUMN_METADATA=1 \
                -DSQLITE_ENABLE_UNLOCK_NOTIFY=1   \
                -DSQLITE_ENABLE_DBSTAT_VTAB=1     \
                -DSQLITE_SECURE_DELETE=1          \
                -DSQLITE_ENABLE_FTS3_TOKENIZER=1" &&
    make

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the `root` user:

    make install

If you downloaded the optional documentation, issue the following commands as the `root` user to install it:

    install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/sqlite-3.27.1 &&
    cp -v -R sqlite-doc-3270100/* /usr/share/doc/sqlite-3.27.1

## Command Explanations

`--disable-static`: This switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.

`--enable-fts5`: enable version 5 of the full text search extension.

`CFLAGS="-g -O2 -DSQLITE_ENABLE_FTS3=1 -DSQLITE_ENABLE_FTS4=1 -DSQLITE_ENABLE_COLUMN_METADATA=1 -DSQLITE_SECURE_DELETE -DSQLITE_ENABLE_UNLOCK_NOTIFY=1 -DSQLITE_ENABLE_DBSTAT_VTAB=1"`: Applications such as Firefox require secure delete and enable unlock notify to be turned on. Since firefox-41 the dbstat virtual table and FTS3/4 are also required. The only way to do this is to include them in the CFLAGS. By default, these are set to `"-g -O2"` so we specify that to preserve those settings. You may, of course, wish to omit the `'-g'` if you do not wish to create debugging information. For further information on what can be specified see http://www.sqlite.org/compile.html.
