digitalmars.D.learn - SQLite library on Windows

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. :)
