Re: errors building on windows using meson

Hi

I was facing the same error when using active state perl for compiling postgres with meson on windows. I used active state perl because it was working fine for pg compilations until pg-16.

Using choco strawberry perl solved my problem.

Thanks

I don't think this is sufficient detail to provide you with advice / fix
problems / whatnot. Please provide complete logs of configuring and building.

I built perl from source and it worked.
