PG17 binary for Windows

[Fixoon]

Hello.

I want to install and create extension for HyopPG in PostgreSQL 17 but cannot find a binary for it in the release page. Latest seems to be for version 16, but support for 17 is stated in the change log. Can someone upload it please? :) The case is also the same for pg_qualstats. I noticed it was the same person responsible for the releases so I thought I could mention it in the same issue.

Thanks.

hi,
yes sorry I have to do that manually and didn't install postgres 17 yet.

unfortunately I won't have access to my windows machine for the next two weeks, I so I will only be able to generate them after that.

Hi

Do you have any update on when you'll be able to create binaries for PG17?
It would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi,

I just installed pg17 and tried to compile it. Bad news, postgres changed its build system on windows for pg17, it's now using meson rather than visual studio, and apparently the consequence is that extensions cannot be built anymore using visual studio.

I unfortunately don't have the knowledge on how to compile extensions on windows with the new postgres windows binaries, so unless someone can take care of that there won't be any windows binary or installer from me ever again.
