Thanks a lot for that detailed answer. I understand better now why it wouldn't work. I have replaced all definitions (`TCC` and `BCC`) in the Makefile from `g++` (which used to be `gcc` before I changed it) to `g++ -x none`. Unfortunately that has not changed anything, and I'm still getting the same errors. After running `make clean`, and re-running `make -f Makefile.linux-gcc`, the errors I get are the following (I guess they're the errors from the first targets): ``` ../sqlite/tool/lemon.c:2286:40: error: assigning to 'Boolean' from incompatible type 'int' psp->prevrule->neverReduce = 1; ^ ../sqlite/tool/lemon.c:2290:35: error: assigning to 'Boolean' from incompatible type 'int' psp->prevrule->noCode = 0; ^ 480 warnings generated. ../sqlite/tool/lemon.c:2398:24: error: assigning to 'Boolean' from incompatible type 'int' rp->noCode = 1; ^ ../sqlite/tool/lemon.c:3732:18: error: assigning to 'Boolean' from incompatible type 'int' rp->noCode = 1; ^ ../sqlite/tool/lemon.c:3734:18: error: assigning to 'Boolean' from incompatible type 'int' rp->noCode = 0; ^ ../sqlite/tool/lemon.c:3750:20: error: assigning to 'Boolean' from incompatible type 'int' rp->noCode = 0; ^ ../sqlite/tool/lemon.c:3900:18: error: assigning to 'Boolean' from incompatible type 'int' rp->noCode = 0; ^ ../sqlite/tool/lemon.c:4428:32: error: assigning to 'Boolean' from incompatible type 'int' ap->x.rp->doesReduce = 1; ^ ../sqlite/tool/lemon.c:4743:28: error: assigning to 'Boolean' from incompatible type 'int' rp2->codeEmitted = 1; ^ ../sqlite/tool/lemon.c:4748:23: error: assigning to 'Boolean' from incompatible type 'int' rp->codeEmitted = 1; ^ ``` My diagnostic would be that `lemon` is simply not meant to be compiled with a C++ compiler, hence I should first compile it with `gcc` and only use a C++ compiler in a second time for the actual SQLite source. So that's what I did: I changed `g++` back to `gcc` and re-ran `make`. I get these errors again (but I expect it, as I'm not linking the C++ standard library / using GCC): ``` 212 warnings generated.

Once again any suggestions are welcome.
