Hi all, Microsoft provides a set of VMs that one can use for testing and Windows 10 is in the set: https://dev.windows.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/windows/ I have grabbed one and installed the community version of Visual Studio 2015 so I think that I am going to be able to compile Postgres with VS2015 with a bit of black magic.
My goal is double: 1) As far as things have been discussed, VS2015 is making difficult the compilation of Postgres, particularly for locales. So I'd like to see what are the problems behind that and see if we can patch it properly. This would facilitate the integration of cmake as well for Windows. 2) src/tools/msvc stuff has support only up to VS2013. I think that it would be nice to bump that a bit and get something for 9.5~. So, would there be interest for a patch on the perl scripts in src/tools/msvc or are they considered a lost cause? Having a look at the failures could be done with the cmake work, but it seems a bit premature to me to look at that for the moment, and having support for VS2015 with 9.5 (support for new versions of VS won a backpatch the last couple of years) would be a good thing I think.
