-Make sure it's `bin` directory is added to your systems `PATH`.
+It seems there are issues if these tools are installed in paths with spaces.
+So if it is for example installed in the 32 bit `Programs (x86)` directory, the build will probably fail.

+Make sure all tools `bin` directories are added to your systems `PATH`.
+For tools like OpenSSL be sure to add the directory containing the `openssl.exe` (Usually the root directory).
 Also make sure you restarted your IDE and or console window after changing the `PATH` settings for the changes to take effect.
