Hello. I've been having trouble with getting this to work on Windows using 32-bit and then found that it works on 64-bit Windows even without pkg-config (which incidentally I had got installed though I'm not sure that could help after all). Having learned more about the current head revision I understand that it works without pkg-config on Windows however I could not get it to work with 32-bit Windows and I get a stream of error messages like "__divdi3: not defined". My understanding of C and cgo is patchy and I'm not sure what this means. I couldn't see why it should be different on 32-bit Windows but perhaps some other compiler option is required.
I resolved my problems by discarding pkg-config and the static compilation on Windows and use the DLL instead, which is what other platforms are using anyway. So instead of the #cgo pkg-config line I'm using "#cgo LDFLAGS: -lsqlite3" having the environment set up with the include files on the path for gcc (LIBRARY_PATH and C_INCLUDE_PATH). The little work with cgo that I've done so far this works best with the smallest of changes to the source-code across platforms.
I've never used pkg-config before and while I had no trouble with it on other platforms on Windows it was a struggle getting an environment set up. Wouldn't this be better without pkg-config?
In any case the current head revision doesn't appear to work for 32-bit Windows and the static compilation as an exception for Windows seems unnecessarily complicated. Maybe you can get it to work but I wonder if this is the wrong direction to go.
