Well, that's a good reason, if you want to do something outside of the
normal SQLite compile.

You will have to figure out how to compile an ooRexx native extension
in C++ with MingGW if you want to go that route.

1.) You will certainly need to figure out how to get the package
loading stub, RexxGetPackage, exported properly in the DLL.

2.) The ooSQLite source code is using the C++ native API, so you will
certainly need to figure out how to compile the native API in C++.

3.) As Bruce pointed out, you will need to compile ooSQLite to match
the bitness of your installed ooRexx.  But that should not be a
problem.

I can't help you with MingGW, I've never used it.  #1 is probably the
first thing you need to do.
