Re: Windows default locale vs initdb - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

I already installed Visual Studio 2022 with C++ support as suggested in https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/install-windows-full.html

I cloned codes in the system.

But, I cannot find any "src/tools/msvc" directory. It is missing.

Document states I need everything in there

"The tools for building using Visual C++ or Platform SDK are in the src\tools\msvc directory."

It seems I will need help setting up the build environment.

I am willing to be a tester for Windows given I could get help setting up the build environment.

It also feels documentation needs some update as I failed to find necessary files.

If you're trying to build the master branch those documents no longer apply. You will need to build using meson, as documented here: <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/17/install-meson.html>
