BUG #18513: PG17 build on windows generates postgres.exe.lib instead of postgres.lib
Hackorum builds and tests every patch posted to the lists, not only commitfest submissions. This is Hackorum's own CI rather than the PostgreSQL project's, and it is still under testing - please report anything that looks wrong.
You can run a PostgreSQL built from this patch straight from Docker, with no checkout and no build:
docker run --rm -p 5432:5432 ghcr.io/hackorum-dev/postgres-patch:t72596psql -h localhost -U postgresBuilt from patchset v2 (message #2), July 27, 2026 at 10:46 PM.
Every patchset is also pushed to a branch of our PostgreSQL fork, so you can check out the same tree CI built. Without a PostgreSQL checkout:
git clone --branch t72596_2 https://github.com/hackorum-dev/postgres.gitIn a checkout you already have, add the fork once:
git remote add hackorum https://github.com/hackorum-dev/postgres.gitthen, for this patchset and every later one:
git fetch hackorum t72596_2 && git checkout t72596_2Patchset v2 (message #2) is on t72596_2

Bug reference: 18513
Logged by: Muralikrishna Bandaru
Email address: muralikrishna.bandaru@enterprisedb.com
PostgreSQL version: 17beta1
Operating system: Windows
Description:
PG17 build on windows is generating postgres.exe.lib. But all the previous
versions generating postgres.lib file. Due to this renaming the extensions
fail to link with this library by default as they expect postgres.lib. For
example here is the link for system_stats project file
https://github.com/EnterpriseDB/system_stats/blob/master/system_stats.vcxproj#L101
This seems like a bug, Can some one please confirm?

The attached patch might fix it. At least I appear to get the right
output file name. I don't have the ability to check whether it does the
right thing on Cygwin.

Hi Peter,
This patch worked for me. Now postgres.lib is created instead of
postgres.exe.lib. Once you
push this patch to the source repo then I will try to build the extension
(system_stats).
