+Prerequisites
+=============
+
+ - libodb http://www.codesynthesis.com/products/odb/
+ - libsqlite3 http://www.sqlite.org
+
+If you plan to access an SQLite database from multiple threads, then
+you will need SQLite version 3.5.0 or later built with the unlock
+notify feature (SQLITE_ENABLE_UNLOCK_NOTIFY) enabled.
+
+
+Building on UNIX
+================
+
+The following build instructions are for the Linux/UNIX/Mac OS X
+operating systems as well as for Cygwin and MinGW on Windows.
+
+The standard autotools-based build system is used on these platforms.
+After unpacking the source code archive, change to the libodb-sqlite
+package directory (referred to as libodb-sqlite/ from now on) and run
+the configure script:
+
+./configure
+
+To see the available configuration options run configure with --help:
+
+./configure --help
+
+The configure script expects the libodb and libsqlite3 headers and
+libraries to be installed in a directory where the C++ compiler
+and linker will search for them by default (normally /usr and
+/usr/local). If these libraries are installed in other directories,
+you can use the CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS configure variables to specify
+their locations, for example:
+
+./configure CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/libodb/include LDFLAGS=-L/opt/libodb/lib
+
+If libodb is not installed and you would like to use its build
+directory instead, you can use the --with-libodb configure option
+to specify its location, for example:
+
+./configure --with-libodb=/tmp/libodb
+
+As another example, the following configure command only builds shared
+libraries, uses the specified C++ compiler, and compiles with optimization
+and without debug information:
+
+./configure --disable-static CXX=g++-4.5 CXXFLAGS=-O3
+
+Once configuration is complete, run make to build libodb-sqlite:
+
+make
+
+Once the build is completed successfully, you can install the libodb-sqlite
+headers and libraries using the install target (you may need to do this
+step as root depending on the installation directory):
+
+make install
+
+
+Building on Windows
+===================
+
+The following build instructions are for Windows using Microsoft Visual
+Studio. If you would like to build libodb-sqlite with GCC either using
+Cygwin or MinGW, refer to the "Building on UNIX" section above.
+
+The standard Visual Studio project and solution files are used on this
+platform. The provided project files expect the libodb and sqlite
+header and import library directories to be in the VC++ Directories
+Include and Library search lists. For libodb, see the INSTALL file in
+the package directory for more information on how to setup the VC++
+Directories.
+
+The SQLite binary distribution for Windows contains only a 32-bit DLL
+and it is built without unlock notify support. The provided libodb-
+sqlite project files assume the unlock notify feature is available (you
+can change this by manually removing the LIBODB_SQLITE_HAVE_UNLOCK_NOTIFY
+macro from the project's "Preprocessor Definitions" settings). The SQLite
+source distribution for Windows lacks Visual Studio project/solution files.
+
+To rectify this situation, the libodb-sqlite distribution includes, in
+the etc\sqlite\ directory, Visual Studio 9 and 10 project/solution files
+for building 32 and 64-bit SQLite libraries with unlock notify support.
+Refer to the accompanying README file for information on how to build the
+libraries and configure VC++ Directories to automatically locate them.
+
+To build libodb-sqlite, unpack the source code archive and open the
+libodb-sqlite-vc<N>.sln file located in the libodb-sqlite package
+directory (referred to as libodb-sqlite\ from now on). Here <N> is the
+version of Visual Studio that you are using. Once the solution is open,
+select the desired build configuration (Debug or Release) and platform
+(Win32 or x64) and build the solution.
+
+The resulting 32-bit DLLs and import libraries are placed into the
+libodb-sqlite\bin\ and libodb-sqlite\lib\ directories, respectively.
+Similarly, the 64-bit DLLs and import libraries are placed into
+libodb-sqlite\bin64\ and libodb-sqlite\lib64\. The Release versions of
+the import libraries are named odb-sqlite.lib and the Debug versions
+are named odb-sqlite-d.lib.
+
+To configure Visual Studio to automatically locate the libodb-sqlite
+headers, DLLs, and import libraries, add the following paths to your
+VC++ Directories:
+
+Win32:
+
+ Include: ...\libodb-sqlite
+ Library: ...\libodb-sqlite\lib
+ Executable: ...\libodb-sqlite\bin
+
+x64:
+
+ Include: ...\libodb-sqlite
+ Library: ...\libodb-sqlite\lib64
+ Executable: ...\libodb-sqlite\bin64
