 Run MSYS2 after installation completes.

 You can simply install `gcc` by typing: 
  
     pacman -S gcc

 You could update the package repository as instructed in the documentaion; you can do it but you don't have to. 

In Windows 11, at least, the following worked for me (and feels a little less involved than MSYS2). From admin CMD prompt:

1. winget install LLVM.LLVM
2. set PATH=%PATH%;%PROGRAMFILES%\LLVM\bin
3. (optional) where clang to verify clang is available
4. run emacs from this prompt and proceed to "Install Org-roam in Emacs" phase -- emacsql-sqlite should compile fine...

Thank you. Do you need to do something to get winget working? Or every Windows 11 installation comes with it?

looks like it's built-in to Windows 10 (build 1809 and newer) and Windows 11 [ref]

Okay, thank you. I’ll see if I have it. If it works, I’ll consider switching over. I’d also see if this way works for pdf-tools (msys2 works).
