Is Windows version deprecated?

[myonlylonely]

I know that Windows binary is not provided any more. But is Windows version still considered in the developerment? Is building from source still a good option? There are some Windows Server environment that Docker or WSL is not possible or convenient.

Hey @myonlylonely. Atlas is using pg_query internally and one of its dependencies can currently not be build on windows. See this issue.

This is the reason we removed the windows binary. For now, we haven't found a way around this limitation. I'll keep this open and will answer once we have further info.

Are you able to compile on windows? If so, I am interested in how you did.

@masseelch The link that you provided suggests that the disscussion of Windows support in libpg_query started at 2018. But until 0.14 of Atlas, Atlas still provided Windows version. Is pg_query switch to libpg_query recently?

I haven't tried yet, I just saw the documentation suggeest I can build a community version of Windows. Or I misunderstand the doc?

[masseelch]

Yes we switched only recently. We discussed and will revert the switch for the windows version. You can expect the windows builds to be back at latest tomorrow. I'll notify you here.

@masseelch I can see the new commit that bring Windows support back, any updates for the Github release?

[masseelch]

The build is re-enabled and the documentation is back with windows instructions.
