I could hardly find detailed and complete tutorials on building the latest version with Visual Studio. I did use meson to generate sln and vcxproj files in Command Prompt (attatchment: 00meson_cmd_to_gen_sln.txt). But after opening the sln and run menu command "build -> build solution", it failed. The contents of the Output Window in Visual Studio are in the attatchment 01build_log.txt.

Check out this:

There's a table showing the setup & build commands using the old way and the new way (meson).

Thanks Bill!   Do you have a sample meson command for building that you could share?

Thanks, Mark

I just downloaded the Postgresql 17.0 and the extracted directory postgresql-17.0/src/tools does not contain
the “msvc” directory as it has since I’ve been building Postgres 12, 14, and 16.   How am I supposed to build
PostgreSQL for Windows now?   I’m not sure what msvc_gendef.pl does.   How do we build Postgres for Windows
using Visual Studio?
 
You’ll want to use meson to build PG.  See the docs here:
