Sqlite is not default. Who told you it was the default? The file NEWS says: +++ ** Emacs can be built with built-in support for accessing SQLite databases. This uses the popular sqlite3 library, and can be disabled by using the '--without-sqlite3' option to the 'configure' script. > If you want to make it default then inform the user about missing > sqlite-lib in all cases and not only if the --with-sqlite switch is set > by the user. That is not how we define the optional dependencies. We only do that for dependencies without which Emacs will be much less powerful or performant. Most optional dependencies are not of this kind: Emacs can be entirely functional without SQLite support. This is not a bug. Closing.

Is it or is it not? If not then I'm wrong with this issue report. Maybe I did something wrong.Based on my own experience it seems to me that it depends on the fact if lib-sqlite3-dev is installed or not.When the lib is not installed and I don't set an explicite sqlite3 switch in the make-configure-build-system it build runs successfully without any warning or error. You see?! Sqlite is not default.If you want to make it default then inform the user about missing sqlite-lib in all cases and not only if the --with-sqlite switch is set by the user.The same stands for all other switches.
