Building on Windows (x64) about pg_bulkload HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi, Thank you for reporting.
But we have not maintained a Windows support for a long time.
We are discussing about it. Please wait.

Or we welcome to your pull request!

I figured BinaryParamis a reserved name for some other type in some of libraries, so I renamed it to LocalBinaryParamthroughout the whole project.
Then I simply removed __attribute__format strings because Visual Studio doesn't seem to know what that is, although mingw was ok with it.
After that I was able to build pg_bulkload_exe, but I still fail building the dll. Here's the errors I get:

Some of these references seem to be related to libpq.lib or postgres.lib, but others (especially LocalBinaryParam since we implement it on our own) I have no idea why they can't be resolved.

Hi @1803 , Thank you for a more detail information.
But unfortunately we can't support Windows environments because we don't have Visual Studio and a developer of experience of Windows environments. So we couldn't help you.
If you could resolve this issue, please share the knowledge.
