How to compile Arti on Windows?

Question

I have attempted to compile Arti (https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/arti) on Windows but I get:

note: LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'sqlite3.lib'

Does anyone know how to fix it?

It seems like one can follow: https://github.com/dlang-community/d2sqlite3/issues/49#issuecomment-694725249:

1. Download source from [source](https://www.sqlite.org/download.html) (https://www.sqlite.org/download.html)
   For example: [source](https://www.sqlite.org/2020/sqlite-amalgamation-3310100.zip) `https://www.sqlite.org/2020/sqlite-amalgamation-3310100.zip`

2. Download binary from [binary](https://www.sqlite.org/download.html)
   For example: [binary](https://www.sqlite.org/2020/sqlite-dll-win64-x64-3310100.zip) `https://www.sqlite.org/2020/sqlite-dll-win64-x64-3310100.zip`

3. Extract both archives to the same directory

4. Open **Developer Command Prompt for VS 2017** by typing _Developer Command_ in Windows Search

5. Go to directory where you've extracted **source code** and **binary** files (via opened cmd)

6. Run
   `lib /DEF:sqlite3.def /OUT:sqlite3.lib /MACHINE:x64`

and just copy sqlite3.lib to arti folder and then cargo build.
