Hi Hackers,
Recently, I compiled PG17 on the windows. Till PG16 "ActiveState
Perl", as instructed in the documentation
<https://www.postgresql.org/docs/16/install-windows-full.html#INSTALL-WINDOWS-FULL-REQUIREMENTS>,
was being used successfully on the Windows 10/11 to compile PG.
However, it looks like that "ActiveState Perl" is not valid anymore to
compile PG17 on Windows 10/11 but documentation
<https://www.postgresql.org/docs/17/installation-platform-notes.html#WINDOWS-REQUIREMENTS> still
suggests it. Therefore, I think documentation needs to be updated.
Moreover, I had to install "strawberry's perl" in order to compile
PG17 on Windows 10/11. Please check out the thread "errors building on
windows using meson
<https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/CADK3HHLQ1MNmfXqEvQi36D_MQrheOZPcXv2H3s6otMbSmfwjzg%40mail.gmail.com>"
highlighting the issue.
See https://postgr.es/m/4acddcd4-1c08-44e7-ba60-cab102259...@dunslane.net
I agree we should fix the docco.
cheers
