Compiling with SQLCipher encryption enabled

Add cabal.project.local to project root with the location of OpenSSL headers and libraries and flag setting encryption mode:

cp scripts/cabal.project.local.mac cabal.project.local
# or
# cp scripts/cabal.project.local.linux cabal.project.local

OpenSSL on MacOS

MacOS comes with LibreSSL as default, OpenSSL must be installed to compile SimpleX from source.

OpenSSL can be installed with brew install openssl@1.1

You will have to add /opt/homebrew/opt/openssl@1.1/bin to your PATH in order to have things working properly
