How to compile DLL in Windows 11

SQLCipher Issues
1

Hello,

I am newbie and I want to compile a sqlCipher DLL to use in a Delphi program.

First at all, as a beginner, I downloaded Sqlite and compile it with nmake /f makefile.msc command. This Sqlite DLL is working fine.

Now I want to compile a sqlCipher DLL. Regarding Readme.md, building SQLCipher is similar to compiling a regular version of SQLite from source.
However I have to define some parameters (SQLITE_HAS_CODEC, SQLITE_TEMP_STORE…) and I don’t know where I have to define it. In the “Makefile.msc” file ?

I downloaded OpenSSL, how and where could I link it ?
The application that would use Sqlcipher is in 32bits. I presume that I have to use openSSL32bits even if my computer is 64bits ?

Thanks for your help

Regards

Hello,

I found an easy way to compile in order to evaluate SqlCipher. I used vcpkg tool and the command below:

vcpkg install sqlcipher:x86-windows

I have tried like hell to get this working properly. It compiles fine, but never exposes sqlite_key and sqlite_rekey. And, yes, I have updated the portfile.cmake file to include “-DSQLITE_HAS_CODEC=TRUE“. Any suggestions?
