+This directory contains source code to
+
+ SQLite: An Embeddable SQL Database Engine
+
+To compile the project, first create a directory in which to place
+the build products. It is recommended, but not required, that the
+build directory be separate from the source directory. Cd into the
+build directory and then from the build directory run the configure
+script found at the root of the source tree. Then run "make".
+
+For example:
+
+ tar xzf sqlite.tar.gz ;# Unpack the source tree into "sqlite"
+ mkdir bld ;# Build will occur in a sibling directory
+ cd bld ;# Change to the build directory
+ ../sqlite/configure ;# Run the configure script
+ make ;# Run the makefile.
+ make install ;# (Optional) Install the build products
+
+The configure script uses autoconf 2.61 and libtool. If the configure
+script does not work out for you, there is a generic makefile named
+"Makefile.linux-gcc" in the top directory of the source tree that you
+can copy and edit to suit your needs. Comments on the generic makefile
+show what changes are needed.
+
+The linux binaries on the website are created using the generic makefile,
+not the configure script. The windows binaries on the website are created
+using MinGW32 configured as a cross-compiler running under Linux. For
+details, see the ./publish.sh script at the top-level of the source tree.
+The developers do not use teh configure script.
+
+SQLite does not require TCL to run, but a TCL installation is required
+by the makefiles. SQLite contains a lot of generated code and TCL is
+used to do much of that code generation. The makefile also requires
+AWK.
