I had to experiment a bit to get this to compile under Windows x64. I suggest adding a few lines to the readme, but would like someone to verify that the instructions work, because I am not 100% sure if these steps were all I did.

My steps:

  • (install rust via rustup)
  • Install vcpkg and run integrate install
  • vcpkg install openssl:x64-windows-static-md
  • vcpkg install sqlite3[fts5]:x64-windows-static-md (installs sqlite3 and the fts5 extension, which is required)
  • (cargo install signal-backup-decode)

Finding the correct openssl and sqlite packages was a bit tedious (with my limited knowledge), as I did not know about -md and [fts5]. Maybe just a pointer towards that would be nice in the readme?
