Updating Python SQLite Library in MSYS2 UCRT64 (original) (raw)

Greetings!

First, I apologize if this is the wrong place for this post. Just let me know. Thanks.

I am using MSYS2 UCRT64 environment to run python code under Windows 10/11. The SQLite version that comes with python is 3.47.2. Is there a way to update the library to the latest version (3.49.1)? I can do this in the MSYS2 MSYS (unix like environment) without any problem, but in the UCRT64 environment (which runs Windows applications and python), it breaks the library and I have to reinstall python. If anyone has any idea on what to do (or point me to the right spot), I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

The SQLite update is delayed a bit since upstream changed the build system and I (or anyone else) haven’t found the time to look into it.

Note that the Python in MSYS2 is not an officially supported distribution, so please ask at https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/issues in the future

Yeah, we’ve all had to deal with the change. It should be better in the future.

Thanks for this. I will work with that option.

I’ve updated things to 3.49.1 just now.
