+This package contains:
+
+ * the SQLite library amalgamation source code file: sqlite3.c
+ * the sqlite3.h and sqlite3ext.h header files that define the C-language
+   interface to the sqlite3.c library file
+ * the shell.c file used to build the sqlite3 command-line shell program
+ * autoconf/automake installation infrastucture for building on POSIX
+   compliant systems
+ * a Makefile.msc, sqlite3.rc, and Replace.cs for building with Microsoft
+   Visual C++ on Windows
+
+SUMMARY OF HOW TO BUILD
+=======================
+
+  Unix:      ./configure; make
+  Windows:   nmake /f Makefile.msc
+
+BUILDING ON POSIX
+=================
+
+The generic installation instructions for autoconf/automake are found
+in the INSTALL file.
+
+The following SQLite specific boolean options are supported:
+
+  --enable-readline           use readline in shell tool   [default=yes]
+  --enable-threadsafe         build a thread-safe library  [default=yes]
+  --enable-dynamic-extensions support loadable extensions  [default=yes]
+
+The default value for the CFLAGS variable (options passed to the C
+compiler) includes debugging symbols in the build, resulting in larger
+binaries than are necessary. Override it on the configure command
+line like this:
+
+  $ CFLAGS="-Os" ./configure
+
+to produce a smaller installation footprint.
+
+Other SQLite compilation parameters can also be set using CFLAGS. For
+example:
+
+  $ CFLAGS="-Os -DSQLITE_THREADSAFE=0" ./configure
+
+
+BUILDING WITH MICROSOFT VISUAL C++
+==================================
+
+To compile for Windows using Microsoft Visual C++:
+
+  $ nmake /f Makefile.msc
+
+Using Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 (or later) is recommended.  Several Windows
+platform variants may be built by adding additional macros to the NMAKE
+command line.
+
+Building for WinRT 8.0
+----------------------
+
+  FOR_WINRT=1
+
+Using Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 (or later) is required.  When using the
+above, something like the following macro will need to be added to the
+NMAKE command line as well:
+
+  "NSDKLIBPATH=%WindowsSdkDir%\..\8.0\lib\win8\um\x86"
+
+Building for WinRT 8.1
+----------------------
+
+  FOR_WINRT=1
+
+Using Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 (or later) is required.  When using the
+above, something like the following macro will need to be added to the
+NMAKE command line as well:
+
+  "NSDKLIBPATH=%WindowsSdkDir%\..\8.1\lib\winv6.3\um\x86"
+
+Building for UWP 10.0
+---------------------
+
+  FOR_WINRT=1 FOR_UWP=1
+
+Using Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 (or later) is required.  When using the
+above, something like the following macros will need to be added to the
+NMAKE command line as well:
+
+  "NSDKLIBPATH=%WindowsSdkDir%\..\10\lib\10.0.10586.0\um\x86"
+  "PSDKLIBPATH=%WindowsSdkDir%\..\10\lib\10.0.10586.0\um\x86"
+  "NUCRTLIBPATH=%UniversalCRTSdkDir%\..\10\lib\10.0.10586.0\ucrt\x86"
+
+Building for the Windows 10 SDK
+-------------------------------
+
+  FOR_WIN10=1
+
+Using Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 (or later) is required.  When using the
+above, no other macros should be needed on the NMAKE command line.
+
+Other preprocessor defines
+--------------------------
+
+Additionally, preprocessor defines may be specified by using the OPTS macro
+on the NMAKE command line.  However, not all possible preprocessor defines
+may be specified in this manner as some require the amalgamation to be built
+with them enabled (see http://www.sqlite.org/compile.html). For example, the
+following will work:
+
+  "OPTS=-DSQLITE_ENABLE_STAT4=1 -DSQLITE_OMIT_JSON=1"
+
+However, the following will not compile unless the amalgamation was built
+with it enabled:
+
+  "OPTS=-DSQLITE_ENABLE_UPDATE_DELETE_LIMIT=1"
