sqlite3: deprecated declarations

2016-09-01 Thread Yaakov Selkowitz
Jan, Please enable deprecated declarations in sqlite3.h. While it's nice in theory to say that they are deprecated and shouldn't be used, the reality is that real-world code still uses them and therefore fails to build as-is without them. TIA, -- Yaakov -- Problem reports: http://cy
