Re: BUG #16774: PostgreSQL clean build MINGW64 gcc but initdb fails, cannot find startadress CreateProcessAsUserA

Hello,

I have the exact same problem with source code 11.11 using the following
configuration. No errors at compilation. Tried your work around and still
having same problem.

# gcc --version
gcc.exe (Rev6, Built by MSYS2 project) 10.2.0

./configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --prefix=/c/postgresql/pg11/
--with-openssl --with-libxml
make (no errors)
make install (no errors)

initdb.exe error
The procedure entry point CreateProcessAsUserA could not be located in
dynamic link library...

Applied solution below without any success.

CFLAGS="-D WINVER=0x0600 -D _WIN32_WINNT=0x0600" LIBS="-ladvapi32"
./configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --prefix=/c/postgresql/pg11/
--with-openssl --with-libxml

Thanks in advance for your help.

Yannick
