Readme to build mosquitto on Windows

I installed Cygwin on windows, built sqlite3 inside cygwin shell, then when I built mosquitto0-0.8.2 inside cygwin shell, I received error saying ld couldn't find -lsqlite3. I noticed sqlite libraries installed in /usr/local/lib, but still sqlite3 library not found in the path. I also set LD_LIBRARY_PATH pointing to /usr/local/lib inside cygwin shell. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Sorry, I forgot this still needed answering.

Download and run the cygwin installer from http://www.cygwin.com/
You'll need to select the following packages to be installed from the list:
* binutils
* gcc4-core
* gcc4-gcc
* libpcre0
* libsqlite3-devel
* libsqlite3_0
* libwrap-devel
* libwrap0
* make
* mercurial
* sqlite3 (optionally - can be used to check persistent database data)
* wget

Once everything has installed, start cygwin. You now need to obtain the source for mosquitto. If you wish to compile a released version, do the following (updating the version number appropriately):

* wget http://mosquiitto.org/files/source/mosquitto-0.8.2.tar.gz
* tar zxf mosquitto-0.8.2.tar.gz
* cd mosquitto-0.8.2

If you want to use the unreleased code from the repository, do the following:

* hg clone http://bitbucket.org/oojah/mosquitto
* cd mosquitto

If you already have a copy of the repository code and want to update, do the following to get the latest version:

* cd mosquitto
* hg pull -u

Compiling should now be as simple as typing "make". Note that there will be an error when trying to create the man page documentation - this is non-critical.

To now use the compiled mosquitto broker you need the sqlite pcre extension dll. The easiest way to obtain this is to download one of the mosquitto Windows binary releases.

You can now run mosquitto through cygwin, or if you want to run it by double clicking then you will need to place the appropriate dlls in its directory - again, see the Windows binary releases.

Thanks Roger Light, that solved my question.
