This is now working
on my MSVC test rig (WS2019, VS2019, Strawberry Perl), including TAP tests.
I do get a whole lot of annoying messages like this:

Unknown TAP version. The first line MUST be `TAP version <int>`. Assuming
version 12.
The newest minor version has fixed that, it was a misunderstanding about /
imprecision in the tap 14 specification.

Unfortunately, meson v 1.0.1 appears to be broken on Windows, I had to
downgrade back to 1.0.0.
Is it possible that you're using a PG checkout from a few days ago? A
hack I used was invalidated by 1.0.1, but I fixed that already.

CI is running with 1.0.1:
https://cirrus-ci.com/task/5806561726038016?logs=configure#L8

No, running against PG master tip. I'll get some details - it's not too hard
to switch back and forth.
Any more details?


I was held up by difficulties even with meson 1.0.0 (the test modules stuff). Now I again have a clean build with meson 1.0.0 on Windows as a baseline I will get back to trying meson 1.0.1.



OK, I have now got a clean run using meson 1.0.1 / MSVC. Not sure what made the difference. One change I did make was to stop using "--backend vs" and thus use the ninja backend even for MSVC. That proved necessary to run the new install-test-files target which failed miserably with "--backend vs". Not sure if we have it documented, but if not it should be that you need to use the ninja backend on all platforms.

At this stage I think I'm prepared to turn this loose on a couple of my buildfarm animals, and if nothing goes awry for the remainder of the month merge the dev/meson branch and push a new release.

There is still probably a little polishing to do, especially w.r.t. log file artefacts.


cheers
