Issues while building PG in MS Windows, using MSYS2 and MinGW-w64
Hello,
I am trying to build PG from source, in MS Windows using MSYS2 and MinGW-w64. I've tried to build PG 10.0 as wells as 10.3.
I've done configuring like this
./configure --prefix="/d/pg10/"
And when I do "make" or "make world", I'm getting compilation error. I've attached complete error report at the end of the mail.
Basically, one error is pre-processor #error must have a working 64-bit integer datatype.
Another error is "redifinition of fseeko".
Another error is "FLEXIBLE_ARRAY_MEMBER" is undefined.
I don't know why the error is coming, I tried reinstalling MSYS2 and but still no luck. Could you please help?
My $PATH var is

I don't know anything about mingw, but from the first error message you
showed, I'd venture that configure failed to fill in pg_config_ext.h
correctly. It should have put in a line like
#define PG_INT64_TYPE long long int
and evidently it hasn't. This suggests that there's something wrong
with one of the text-processing tools it uses, such as "sed". You
might look into config.log and see if there are any relevant-looking
error messages (probably down near the end). Also, try comparing
your configure text output and config.log to those of one of our
buildfarm machines that's using mingw successfully, such as
https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=jacana&dt=2018-04-27%2012%3A19%3A49
(the "config" and "configure" links on that page are what to compare to).
Hm ... I notice that jacana's been set up so that it explicitly
gives configure a --host setting instead of letting configure work
that out. No idea if that was really necessary or not.

Hello,
as a complement:
I used MSYS2 and MinGW-w64 to build version 11devel
from https://www.postgresql.org/ftp/snapshot/dev/
on my win 7 64 bit desktop.
What I remember is that I found good advices in
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/installation-platform-notes.html#INSTALLATION-NOTES-MINGW
and
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Building_With_MinGW
I don't remenber the details of the installation process, but it was working
with
Unzip and untar tarball then
cd postgresql-11devel
./configure --build=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --without-zlib
make
make install
regards
PAscal

Hi Tom Lane,
Thanks for the help.
I had extracted PG using WinZip outside of MSYS2, and it was causing many of the errors, may be due to some errors in file attributes. So I unpacked the source tarball within the shell itself(using gunzip and tar), and I could fix many errors.
Now new errors are popping up. I've compared the config file with the file given in the URL, but I couldn't fix this yet.
The current error is basically due to the fact that, PUTENVPROC macro is defined to empty.
Config output and make error output are uploaded here https://gist.github.com/codercet/760ae3b0337144059570ccfc06e2a847
config.log is available here https://gist.github.com/codercet/725cc5fdd0acfbf5193d891bffb4dfda
The error output while doing make is
gcc -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wendif-labels -Wmissing-format-attribute -Wformat-security -fno-strict-aliasing -fwrapv -fexcess-precision=standard -g -std=c11 -I../../src/port -DFRONTEND -I../../src/include -I./src/include/port/win32 -DEXEC_BACKEND "-I../../src/include/port/win32" -DBUILDING_DLL -c -o win32env.o win32env.c

Hmm. This sort of looks like your compiler isn't recognizing _cdecl
as a special token, but I have no idea why a Windows-ready compiler
wouldn't handle that.

I haven't looked deeply at this thread, but it's worth pointing out that
MSYS2 is not the same thing as MSYS, and I at least have no experience
of building with it.
Now Msys hasn't been updated for quite a while. so maybe we need to look
at these tools. Our documentation currently does not refer to MSYS2 at all.

If you have time, can you check CMake version?
https://github.com/stalkerg/postgres_cmake
During Mingw installation you can choose a version, it can be more MSVC
like or more Unix, probably Postgres have a problem with one of mingw type.
So I unpacked the source tarball within the shell itself(using gunzip and
tar), and I could fix many errors.
This is really stange, mingw on windows should't depend on any attribute.

Can you try the .cmd script (https://pastebin.com/LU9gdn27), that
compiles REL_10_STABLE on Windows with msys2 and mingw-w64 successfully?
In case of any issues with it, please let me now.

Just checked. All compiled in a sane way. I suppose you have some
environmental problems.
This is my step-by-step guide:
1. Download MSYS2 installer, 64-bit.
2. Run, choose simple install folder, e.g. C:\msys64
3. Run MSYS2 after installation and execute:
pacman -Syu
4. Maybe you'll need this several times. Close console
5. Open appropriate console with correct environment:
a) C:\msys64\msys2_shell.cmd -mingw64
or
b) just click on the Start menu “MSYS2 MinGW 64-bit” shortcut
6. In it update packages:
pacman -Syu
7. Install needed packages:
pacman --needed -S git mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc base-devel
8. Execute:
git clone git://git.postgresql.org/git/postgresql.git
cd postgresql
./configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --prefix=/c/pgsql/ && make && make install
Here we tell our target machine will be 64-bit and we want our
binaries to be copied to C:\pgsql\.

Hi,
I had this problem.
The solution is to turn off AVG anti-virus.
In the past, I could both compile PostgreSQL and keep 'AVG on' at the same
time.
The case * does not seem that way anymore *
With AVG 'antivirus on' the following occurs.
