fatal error: mbedtls/ctr_drbg.h: No such file or directory

I used the latest versions of IXWebSocket and mbedtls at this moment:

• IXWebSocket 12.0.0: https://github.com/machinezone/IXWebSocket/releases/tag/v12.0.0
• mbedtls-4.1.0 (.tar.bz2): https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/releases/tag/mbedtls-4.1.0
• MinGW 13.1: https://winlibs.com/

My steps:

1. Building and installing mbedtls-4.1.0:

cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" -S . -B dist -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=C:/libs/mbedtls-4.1.0-mingw

cmake --build dist -j8

cmake --install dist

2. Building and installing zlib 1.3.2:

cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" -S . -B dist -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=C:/libs/zlib-1.3.2-mingw

cmake --build dist -j8

cmake --install dist

3. Building and installing IXWebSocket 12.0.0:

cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" -S . -B dist -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=C:/libs/IXWebSocket-12.0.0-mingw -DZLIB_INCLUDE_DIR=C:/libs/zlib-1.3.2-mingw/include -DZLIB_LIBRARY=C:/libs/zlib-1.3.2-mingw/lib/libzlibstatic.a -DMBEDTLS_LIBRARY=C:/libs/mbedtls-4.1.0-mingw/lib/libmbedtls.a -DMBEDTLS_INCLUDE_DIRS=C:/libs/mbedtls-4.1.0-mingw/include -DMBEDX509_LIBRARY=C:/libs/mbedtls-4.1.0-mingw/lib/libmbedx509.a -DMBEDCRYPTO_LIBRARY=C:/libs/mbedtls-4.1.0-mingw/lib/libmbedcrypto.a -DUSE_TLS=ON -DUSE_WS=ON -DUSE_ZLIB=ON

cmake --build dist -j8

cmake --install dist

But IXWebSocket 12.0.0 works well with Mbed TLS 3.6.6. See my step-by-step guide: #529 (comment)
