Error: could not find native static library `ssl`, perhaps an -L flag is missing? on WIndows

I'm trying to build this project on windows. -> https://github.com/alexanderbanks/rust-api

When I run cargo build I get following error.

Please note: I have openssl, gcc, minwig all installed and added to PATH already on Windows 10.

When I updated dependencies. and as well deleted lock file. And when I run cargo build
Now I get this new error:

error: could not find native static library `ssl`, perhaps an -L flag is missing?

error: aborting due to previous error

rust-crypto is a dead, unmaintained crate.

Use cargo tree to see what is trying to use it, and get rid of that dependency.

just ran cargo update now I get new error: error: could not find native static library ssl, perhaps an -L flag is missing?

i gaveup on this guys. installed Popos alongside windows 10 now. works fine
