Can't compile SQLCipher on Windows - c++

Question

I'm trying to compile SQLCipher. I've downloaded source code from http://sqlcipher.net/.
Then I'm doing from this post:
[http://groups.google.com/group/sqlcipher/browse_thread/thread/55c6296b56bf4533:][1]
[1]
I installed MinGW (set path to gcc: d:\MinGW\bin), OpenSSL and ActiveState Perl. I copyied file libeay32.dll to sqlcipher directory. Than I try execute this command:
./configure --disable-tcl CFLAGS="-DSQLITE_HAS_CODEC
-I/path/to/openssl/include" LDFLAGS="-leay32"
and I got error:
checking build system type... i686-pc-mingw32
checking host system type... i686-pc-mingw32
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name...
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See 'config.log' for more details.
Config.log shows:
configure:2537: $? = 0
configure:2544: gcc -v >&5
Using built-in specs.

I don't know what is -leay32. I copied file libeay32.dll to sqlcipher directory. In D there is directory OpenSSL-Win32.
Thanks

Try this for your configure command:
./configure –disable-tcl CFLAGS=”-DSQLITE_HAS_CODEC –Ic:/path/to/openssl/include –Lc:/path/to/openssl/lib –leay32”
-leay32 is a library flag, so think of it like "-l eay32". It's referred to as "eay32" because the library flag ignores the "lib" of "libeay32".
