Are you using a virtual environment? If not, you may want to read the recommendations on it here: > ---

Ah, yes, I have seen this before as well. It seems to be the case that OpenSSL flat-out will not build on Windows ☹ I’ve never been able to get things going in Windows, as a result of this. To get around that, I ended up dropping an Ubuntu VM on my box, and now I just do all of my Blockcerts development in my VM. ---
