Add support for cross compiling on Windows for Android

I am trying to build the static library for the android-arm platform from my windows 11 pc.

I have set the respective environment variables in windows from the NOTE-Android.md:-

ANDROID_NDK_ROOT=C:\Users\51010384\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\ndk\27.0.11902837 PATH=%ANDROID_NDK_ROOT%\toolchains\llvm\prebuilt\windows-x86_64\bin

Using OpenSSL -> 3.3.1

I have ran the below command and came into issue:

`

perl Configure android-arm -static --predix=D:\OpenSSL_Android --openssldir=D:\OpenSSL_Android Configuring OpenSSL version 3.3.1 for target android-arm Using os-specific seed configuration Failure! build file wasn't produced. Please read INSTALL.md and associated NOTES-* files. You may also have to look over your available compiler tool chain or change your configuration. no NDK arm-linux-androideabi-gcc on $PATH at (eval 12) line 143.`

I have done research on this issue before and found few of this as active issue, some are suggesting to use the linux but my project is built on windows and I require this library to work in android. I am using Microsoft visual studio 2022, using developer powershell by microsoft visual studio and running code in win32, but I need my current project in android application so I have to have a static file.

I have tried using wsl, but it is giving error

Can you please share any resource or something else I could you to fix this error and can run the same using windows machine for get static archive of android-arm.
