I’m using Ubuntu 16.04 x64 and using the android-database-sqlcipher.  
After ‘make init’ i do the ‘make’ and it exits with error:

checking for library containing pthread\_mutexattr\_init… none required  
checking for crypto library to use… openssl  
checking for HMAC\_Init\_ex in -lcrypto… no  
configure: error: Library crypto not found. Install openssl!"  
Makefile:30: recipe for target ‘build-amalgamation’ failed  
make: \*\*\* [build-amalgamation] Error 1

Shouldn’t it be using the openssl that just compiled ?

Could it be that i’m using a 64bit environment ?

Had the same issue in Ubuntu 14.04. Was able to resolve by installing OpenSSL using the following, you might want to try the same.

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
