Basic self_encryptor example DIY instructions

Development
123

Hi All ! I am also trying to build the self_encryption module on windows 10 64bit.

I was stuck on the libdodium installation until i saw @Tom_Carlson’s post in this topic:

download https://download.libsodium.org/libsodium/releases/libsodium-1.0.2.tar.gz3
cd crust (or cd routing)
mkdir bin
cd bin
mkdir x86_64-pc-windows-gnu
copy from the libsodium-1.0.2.tar.gz archive, only the libsodium.a file into the new bin/x86_64-pc-windows-gnu directory just made

I was not able to find the libsodium.a file, so instead ended up DLing the prebuilt version libsodium-1.0.2-msvc.zip, and putting the dll libsodium-1.0.2-msvc.zip\x64\Release\v120\dynamic\libsodium.dll in the folder self_encryption\bin\x86_64-pc-windows-gnu.

This apparently solved my compiling issues, but running the example sends out an error.

Process didn't exit successfully: `target\debug\examples\basic_encryptor.exe -e C:\AA_project.pdf` (exit code: -1073741515)

Looking with Google, the error code seems to be of a missing dll, so I guess the error indeed comes from the way I dealt with libsodium.
It could also be gcc, but to my understanding things seem ok on this side:

PS C:\Users\jean-\Documents\GitHub\self_encryption> gcc -v

Would someone have an idea about where my mistakes are :smile: ?
