MSVC is still broken with this change, but now I think we've exposed a long-standing error in the MSVC build system.

Mkvcbuild.pm has:

   my $pgdumpall = AddSimpleFrontend('pg_dump', 1);
   $pgdumpall->{name} = 'pg_dumpall';
   $pgdumpall->AddIncludeDir('src\backend');
   $pgdumpall->AddFile('src\bin\pg_dump\pg_dumpall.c');
   $pgdumpall->AddFile('src\bin\pg_dump\keywords.c');
   $pgdumpall->AddFile('src\backend\parser\kwlookup.c')


AddSimpleFrontend() calls AddDir() which harvests the contents of $(OBJS) from the Makefile for the target. But pg_dumpall doesn't want $(OBJS). We've been benignly but mistakenly building it with them for a quite a few years, but now we can't do that any more, given Bruce's changes. It looks like the fix is to call AddProject() for pg_dumpall instead of AddSimpleFrontend() and then do a little more work ourselves to select exactly what we need.


I don't have time to do that and test it immediately, as I'll be away most of the day, so if anyone else can please go for it.

cheers
