Dave,

Here’s my steps so far:

1. Create windows 11 virtual machine (Parallels Desktop 19 for Mac - running on Mac Studio M1 Max)
2. Referencing https://www.postgresql.org/docs/13/install-windows-full.html for all build system requirements
3. Install Windows Visual Studio Community 2022 
   • check "Desktop development with C++" during Visual Studio Community 2022 installation
4. Install ActiveState Perl 5.36.1
   • state checkout evan-cornell-savant/Perl-5.36.1-Windows . (from Powershell)
   • state use Perl-5.36.1-Windows (from Powershell)
5. Install ActiveState TCL
   • ActiveTcl-8.6.13.0000-MSWin32-x64-559160e0.msi
6. Install MSYS2 for Bison and Flex
   • https://www.msys2.org/
   • msys2-x86_64-20231026.exe
7. Install GnuWin32 for Diff, Gettext
   • https://sourceforge.net/projects/getgnuwin32/files/
   • GetGnuWin32-0.6.3.exe
     • change install path to C:\gnuwin32
     • add C:\gnuwin32\bin to system PATH environment variable
8. Install MIT Kerberos
   • https://web.mit.edu/Kerberos/dist/index.html
   • kfw-4.1-amd64.msi
9. Install libxml2 & libxslt
   • https://zlatkovic.com/pub/libxml/
   • iconv-1.9.2.win32.zip
   • libxml2-2.7.8.win32.zip
   • libxslt-1.1.26.win32.zip
   • unzip all 3 to C:\ and add the xxxx\bin subfolders to system PATH environment variable
10. Install OpenSSL
    • https://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html
    • Win64ARMOpenSSL-3_1_4.msi
11. Install Python
    • https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.12.0/python-3.12.0-arm64.exe
    • python-3.12.0-arm64.exe
      • use admin privileges when installing; add python.exe to PATH
      • Disable path length limit
12. Download source for Postgresql v13.10 (This is the version that is running on the database that the ODBC driver is ultimately needed to access)
    • https://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/source/v13.10/postgresql-13.10.tar.bz2
    • copy postgresql-13.10 folder to C:\
    • start ARM64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2022
    • cd C:\postgresql-13.10\src\tools\msvc
    • build
      • errorProject "C:\postgresql-13.10\pgsql.sln" on node 1 (default targets). 
        C:\postgresql-13.10\pgsql.sln.metaproj : error MSB4126: The specified solution configuration "Release|arm64" is invalid. Please specify a valid solution configuration using the Configuration and Platform properties (e.g. MSBuild.exe Solution.sln /p:Configuration=Debug /p:Platform="Any CPU") or leave those properties blank to use the default solution configuration. [C:\postgresql-13.10\pgsql.sln]

That would certainly be a blocker!

I would try building it with Meson. PostgreSQL: Documentation: 16: 17.4. Building and Installation with Meson

Andres may be able to help with that. I've added him to the thread

Hi Evan,

Yes, it would require manually compiling.  Looks like you will have to first compile PostgreSQL on your machine.

PostgreSQL: Documentation: 16: 18.1. Building with Visual C++ or the Microsoft Windows SDK

And then use that to compile ODBC.

If required to manually compile, this is fine, if so, what are the steps?
