I'm having trouble trying to compile sqlite database with C++Builder 5 code.
I downloaded sqlite-amalgamation, and added all the files to the project:
shell.c
sqlite3.c
sqlite3.h
sqlite3ext.h
Then I included sqlite3.h
in the MainForm where the database will be used.
First I thought it was my code which had problems, but after testing it with a simple Form with a DBGrid to show data inside the database, I get these errors:

What is the problem?
I followed Internet tutorials on how to add sqlite, but they don't work.
If it's not possible to use sqlite with C++Builder 5, is there another embedded database that is compatible with it?
I heard I can use a CSV file as a database, can I do that? If so, how?
The file shell.c
is for the command-line shell; you do not need it to access databases from your code.
The only files you need are sqlite3.c
and sqlite3.h
, and only the former actually needs to be compiled.
