I could hardly find detailed and complete tutorials on building the latest version with Visual Studio. I did use meson to generate sln and vcxproj files in Command Prompt (attatchment: 00meson_cmd_to_gen_sln.txt). But after opening the sln and run menu command "build -> build solution", it failed. The contents of the Output Window in Visual Studio are in the attatchment 01build_log.txt.

How am I supposed to build PostgreSQL for Windows now? I’m not sure what msvc_gendef.pl does. How do we build Postgres for Windows using Visual Studio? You’ll want to use meson to build PG.
