Re: How to compile sqlite.c
If you have visual studio community edition, just run the nmake CMD from a "x64 Native Tools Command Prompt".

Re: Interesting observation: Jump to Procedure.
Ok, like you, I don't use projects. But, I do create my own namespaces with prefixing.
ml_dosomething()
nl_dosomething()
This allows amalgamated code without worry of conflicts.

Re: Happy Birthday, PureBasic!
Happy Birthday to the best kept secret in RAD programming!
I'm dismayed by the bloat of C# and the slowness of Python and the nonsensical frameworks of Javascripts supporting CSS and html web pages.
Still using PB wherever I can.
C for most else.

Re: Is PureBasic dead?
Ha! Definitely not dead.
It's the best kept secret for rad development on Windows. I have no exposure on Linux/Mac, but assume it's only slightly less fluid.
If you have customers, they should not blink when asking to whitelist your app.

Re: Sqlite problem with purebasic
Use a db browser to verify your SQL syntax.
I use db browser for sqlite.
You can attach the 2nd db file in a separate query and then refer to its tables.
