Re: windows config.pl question

Hi Michael, I found the problem

command

cl /?

gives different answer if you start that command from c: or from z: (where z: is mapped drive)

if current directory is on c:

then cl /? returns

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional>cl /?
Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 19.16.27042 for x64
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C/C++ COMPILER OPTIONS

-OPTIMIZATION-

/O1 maximum optimizations (favor space) /O2 maximum optimizations (favor speed)
/Ob<n> inline expansion (default n=0) /Od disable optimizations (default)
/Og enable global optimization /Oi[-] enable intrinsic functions
/Os favor code space /Ot favor code speed
/Ox optimizations (favor speed)
/favor:<blend|AMD64|INTEL64|ATOM> select processor to optimize for, one of:
blend - a combination of optimizations for several different x64 processors
AMD64 - 64-bit AMD processors
INTEL64 - Intel(R)64 architecture processors
ATOM - Intel(R) Atom(TM) processors

-CODE GENERATION-

/Gu[-] ensure distinct functions have distinct addresses
/Gw[-] separate global variables for linker
/GF enable read-only string pooling /Gm[-] enable minimal rebuild
/Gy[-] separate functions for linker /GS[-] enable security checks
/GR[-] enable C++ RTTI /GX[-] enable C++ EH (same as /EHsc)

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

but if I issue that command if the current folder is on z:

Z:\>cl /?
Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 19.16.27042 for x64
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

usage: cl [ option... ] filename... [ /link linkoption... ]

from other hand

cl -help

returns consisten answer from c: or from z:

so platform wasn’t identified properly if build started from z:

after I changed cl /? to cl -help

build and install went successfully

all but one test (tablespace) finished successfully.

that one failure also related to network drive, because

after build finished I copied whole directory that contain PostgreSQL distro to

c: and run tests everything went smoothly

thanks
