Jeff Janes asked me about this, and Bruce just tripped up on it.
Usually on Windows it's necessary to have libpq.dll/cygpq.dll either
in the PATH or in the same directory as client .exe files. The
buildfarm client has for many years simply copied this dll from the
installation lib to the installation bin directory after running
"make install". But I can't really see why we don't do that as part
of "make install" anyway. I haven't tested but I think something
like this patch would achieve this goal - it would fix something
that's tripped a lot of people up over the years.
Seems a reasonable workaround for a silly platform bug. Do you need to
patch the MSVC stuff as well?
MSVC already does it - see src/tools/msvc/Install.pm:
lcopy($target . '/lib/libpq.dll', $target . '/bin/libpq.dll');
