Hello,

I have a couple of questions needing help.
[A]
I have successfully built PostgreSQL on windows. Post that, I ran the regression tests with command: meson test

Test summarised to following results:
Ok:                217
Fail:              91  
Skipped:           40  
Timeout:           4 

I see that 91 tests have failed. Could someone tell me how can I figure out whether these failures are safe to be ignored or they are due to an unhealthy build on my machine needing attention?
I have referred following link for trying out build and running tests on windows machine
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/regress-run.html#REGRESS-RUN-EXISTING-INST

[B]
As directed in this  video I tried to run the tests with command make check that resulted in to following error:
   PS C:\PostgreSQLworkspace\postgres> make check
   ! was unexpected at this time.
   make: *** [check] Error 255
I have installed the make for windows. Unsure whether this make is not compatible and hence caused this issue. Where do we get the compatible 'make' for windows?

Could someone help me with this? Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Prafulla
