On Windows 11, when I try to install sqlCipher to the directory cloned 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), I get the following error:  
“LINK : no se encontró sqlite3.exe o no lo generó el último vínculo incremental; ejecutando vínculo completo”

The sqlite3.exe file is generated, but the compiler does not find it.
