The following bug has been logged on the website: Bug reference: 18513 Logged by: Muralikrishna Bandaru Email address: muralikrishna.bandaru@enterprisedb.com PostgreSQL version: 17beta1 Operating system: Windows Description: PG17 build on windows is generating postgres.exe.lib. But all the previous versions generating postgres.lib file. Due to this renaming the extensions fail to link with this library by default as they expect postgres.lib. For example here is the link for system_stats project file https://github.com/EnterpriseDB/system_stats/blob/master/system_stats.vcxproj#L101 This seems like a bug, Can some one please confirm?

The attached patch might fix it. At least I appear to get the right output file name. I don't have the ability to check whether it does the right thing on Cygwin.

The attached patch might fix it. At least I appear to get the right
output file name. I don't have the ability to check whether it does the
right thing on Cygwin.
Hi Peter,
This patch worked for me. Now postgres.lib is created instead of postgres.exe.lib. Once you
push this patch to the source repo then I will try to build the extension (system_stats).
