It's building on my Jenkins instance at the moment, to make sure it doesn't break VS 2010 / Windows SDK 7.1 . I've merged it into HEAD and pushed to https://github.com/ringerc/postgres/tree/vs2012; the only conflict was a trivial one in the docs.

A quick update: No breakage of WinSDK 7.1 / VS 2010 was found.

I'm having to do more work than I'd hoped to set up my build env for VS 2012 properly and update the build wrapper to handle it so VS 2012 testing is still in progress. Expect a report in a few hours.

No go on VS 2012 yet.

When building a tree with your patch applied using VS 2012 Express via a command line environment set up with:

   "c:\program files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x86

which is the same as the "32-bit build tools" Start menu entry, the build fails with:


  C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\Platforms\Win32\Microsoft.Cpp.Win32.Targets(518,5): error MSB8008: Specified platform toolset (v110) is not installed or invalid. Please make sure that a supported PlatformToolset value is selected. [c:\pg\postgresql\sdk8.0_cl17_vs11.0\x86\Release\vs2012\postgres.vcxproj]


In case it's relevant, the Microsoft SDK for Windows 8 is installed on this machine and appears to have been detected, as WindowsSdkDir has been set to C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\ .

I haven't explicitly set PlatformToolset in the environment.

The machine also has Visual Studio 2010 Express SP1 and the Microsoft Windows SDK 7.1 with VS SP1 and VS SP1 compiler update on it. All work fine.

Thoughts?

How have you been testing VS2012 builds? In what environment?
