Yes, that'd be in the GSSENC code, which I hadn't been expecting to be used under Windows. If you're successful, I don't have any issue helping to make that work, though I'm curious if you're trying to build with MIT KfW (which is rather ancient these days, being based on krb5 1.13 and not updated since..) or with a more current release...?
I'm currently using the KFW 4.1 build from MIT. I've tried building it myself but it requires a very old toolchain (which defeated the point of what I was trying to do at the time).
I haven't yet looked to see if the source for krb5-1.8.2 will build or even has the right bits in it for Windows - as I'm sure you know MIT seem to maintain an entirely different version for Windows for which I assume there's a reason.
Of course, it'd be good to get a buildfarm animal in place that's actually testing this if we're going to make it work.
Fixing the config on hamerkop should deal with that I think. Though I am confused as to why the Buildfarm UI thinks it has Kerberos support enabled - did we change the config parameter from krb5 to gss some time prior to 9.5? If so, that could explain it.
Regarding the setenv() call, should be able to use pgwin32_putenv() in place on Windows, I'd think..?
