I cloned the source from [GitHub - sqlcipher/sqlcipher: SQLCipher is a standalone fork of SQLite that adds 256 bit AES encryption of database files and other security features.](https://github.com/sqlcipher/sqlcipher.git).  
And I can build it very easily under my debian, but when I turned to msys2, it seems hard to work.  
There steps I have done:

1. Installed msys2 on my win10
2. Installed mingw64\_gcc, openssl and tcl in msys2
3. Set the default gcc by run: export PATH="/mingw64/bin:$PATH"
4. And run `./configure --enable-tempstore=yes CFLAGS="-DSQLITE_HAS_CODEC" LDFLAGS="-lcrypto"`, there were no error, especially the “install openssl” error.
5. Run `make clean && make`, and I have got some errors  
So what happend? Or is there any correct guide?
