I’ve been successfully build SQLCipher using a batch file until the latest release when it fails with a bunch of errors. I kick things off with nmake /f …\Makefile.msc TOP=… USE\_CRT\_DLL=1 WIN32HEAP=1 then I get the following errors … C:\GitHub\sqlcipher\bld\>copy /Y sqlite3.h tsrc 1 file(s) copied. for %i in () do copy /Y %i tsrc copy /Y fts5.c tsrc 1 file(s) copied. copy /Y fts5.h tsrc 1 file(s) copied. del /Q tsrc\sqlite.h.in tsrc\parse.y 2\>NUL tclsh …\tool\vdbe-compress.tcl \< tsrc\vdbe.c \> vdbe.new move vdbe.new tsrc\vdbe.c 1 file(s) moved. echo \> .target\_source copy /Y tsrc\sqlite3ext.h sqlite3ext.h 1 file(s) copied. tclsh …\tool\mksqlite3c.tcl copy …\ext\session\sqlite3session.h . 1 file(s) copied. cl -nologo -W4 -DINCLUDE\_MSVC\_H=1 -DSQLITE\_OS\_WIN=1 -I. -I… -I…\src -fp:precise -MD -DNDEBUG -D\_CRT\_SECURE\_NO\_DEPRECATE -D\_CRT\_SECURE\_NO\_WARNINGS -D\_CRT\_NONSTDC\_NO\_DEPRECATE -D\_CRT\_NONSTDC\_NO\_WARNINGS -DSQLITE\_WIN32\_MALLOC=1 -DSQLITE\_THREADSAFE=1 -DSQLITE\_THREAD\_OVERRIDE\_LOCK=-1 -DSQLITE\_TEMP\_STORE=1 -DSQLITE\_MAX\_TRIGGER\_DEPTH=100 -DSQLITE\_ENABLE\_FTS3=1 -DSQLITE\_ENABLE\_RTREE=1 -DSQLITE\_ENABLE\_GEOPOLY=1 -DSQLITE\_ENABLE\_JSON1=1 -DSQLITE\_ENABLE\_STMTVTAB=1 -DSQLITE\_ENABLE\_DBPAGE\_VTAB=1 -DSQLITE\_ENABLE\_DBSTAT\_VTAB=1 -DSQLITE\_INTROSPECTION\_PRAGMAS=1 -DSQLITE\_ENABLE\_DESERIALIZE=1 -DSQLITE\_ENABLE\_COLUMN\_METADATA=1 -O2 -Zi -Fosqlite3.lo -Fdsqlite3.pdb -c sqlite3.c sqlite3.c sqlite3.c(30924): error C2061: syntax error: identifier ‘CRITICAL\_SECTION’ sqlite3.c(30931): error C2059: syntax error: ‘}’ sqlite3.c(30986): error C2079: ‘winMutex\_staticMutexes’ uses undefined struct ‘sqlite3\_mutex’ sqlite3.c(30999): error C2078: too many initializers sqlite3.c(30986): error C2078: too many initializers sqlite3.c(31008): error C2143: syntax error: missing ‘{’ before ‘volatile’ sqlite3.c(31008): warning C4431: missing type specifier - int assumed.

Maybe a better question is what options do I need to set to ONLY build the sqlite3.h and sqlite3.c amalgamation. And NOT build the dll or exe ?
