Can't install or build from source for PostgreSQL 11 on Windows

[ewrayjohnson]

I am posting this as a bug since I get errors.

First I tried create extension age; and got:

ERROR: could not open extension control file "C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/11/share/extension/age.control": No such file or directory SQL state: 58P01

Since I could not find any windows binaries, I downloaded the source. I first placed the following files in my C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\11\share\extension folder:

age.control age--1.0.0.sql

I again tried create extension age; and got:

ERROR: could not access file "$libdir/age": No such file or directory SQL state: 58P01

I then tried to run make install and got:

Makefile:106: Files/PostgreSQL/11/lib/pgxs/src/makefiles/pgxs.mk: No such file or directory make: *** No rule to make target 'Files/PostgreSQL/11/lib/pgxs/src/makefiles/pgxs.mk'. Stop.

I then downloaded PostgreSQL source and copied the contents of its src folder to my C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\11\lib\pgxs\src folder and Then I tried again to run make install and got:

C:/PROGRA~1/PostgreSQL/11/lib/pgxs/src/makefiles/pgxs.mk:226: /src/Makefile.shlib: No such file or directory make: *** No rule to make target '/src/Makefile.shlib'. Stop.

I can't find any good instructions on how to get things installed and running on Windows.

Currently AGE supports Linux compilation. If you are on windows machine trying docker would be quit useful in your case.

We also have tested the AGE version with WSL you can also compile using WSL on windows.
