[gdal-dev] YAML, AppVeyor and the perks of continuous integration (Re: Willing to Pay for Help Building GDAL 3 on WIndows)

[CDelancy]

Thank you so much for the explanation, however, I fear it will not help my
problem. 

You see, I cannot build GDAL3 without PROJ4 6.0, and I wouldn't want to
because important functionality would be missing. However, I cannot build
PROJ because it depends on SQLite3. I cannot build SQlite3 because there
appear to be errors in the instructions provided here:
https://sqlite.org/src/doc/trunk/README.md

"For example:

    mkdir bld
    cd bld
    nmake /f Makefile.msc TOP=..\sqlite
    nmake /f Makefile.msc sqlite3.c TOP=..\sqlite
    nmake /f Makefile.msc sqlite3.dll TOP=..\sqlite
    nmake /f Makefile.msc sqlite3.exe TOP=..\sqlite
    nmake /f Makefile.msc test TOP=..\sqlite"

However, there is no Makefile in the bld directory that was just created, so
"fatal error U1052: file 'Makefile.msc' not found" results.

If I alter the instructions to cd back into the parent sqlite folder where a
makefile is located, I get 

"        tclsh ..\sqlite\tool\mkopcodec.tcl opcodes.h > opcodes.c
'tclsh' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'tclsh' : return code '0x1'
Stop."

So I Google "tclsh" and now I'm off on in search for a program called
ActiveTcl. The quest for dependencies has no end in sight. 

After installing that program, I return to trying to build sqlite3 with the
modified command dicuseed previously, the new result is:

"sqlite3.c
sqlite3.c(19711): error C2065: 'OPFLG_INITIALIZER': undeclared identifier
sqlite3.c(19711): error C2099: initializer is not a constant
sqlite3.c(76038): error C2065: 'OP_Init': undeclared identifier
sqlite3.c(76263): error C2065: 'OP_Goto': undeclared identifier
sqlite3.c(76270): error C2065: 'OP_String8': undeclared identifier
sqlite3.c(76292): error C2065: 'OP_Null': undeclared identifier
sqlite3.c(76292): error C2065: 'OP_String8': undeclared identifier
sqlite3.c(76294): error C2065: 'OP_Integer': undeclared identifier
sqlite3.c(76299): error C2065: 'OP_ResultRow': undeclared identifier
sqlite3.c(76384): error C2065: 'OP_Explain': undeclared identifier
sqlite3.c(76412): error C2065: 'OP_ParseSchema': undeclared identifier"

Lines like this continue until 

"sqlite3.c(85452): fatal error C1003: error count exceeds 100; stopping
compilation
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual
Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.16.27023\bin\HostX86\x86\cl.EXE"' :
return code '0x2'
Stop."

So, here I am at a dead end.
