Need help with postgresql build on windows - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

I have started exploring Postgresql recently. 

I am trying to build Postgresql from source on a windows machine. I am referring to the page https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/install-meson.html#INSTALL-SHORT-MESON

The ninja command is failing with the error message:

PS C:\PostgreSQLworkspace\postgres\build> ninja

I have enabled full permission on the folder but still no luck.

Can someone please help me with this? Any troubleshooting pointers would be a great help!

Thanks in advance!

Thanks and Regards,
