Build on Microsoft Windows with Microsoft Visual Studio

1. For Postgres 12 and higher you need libicu headers

2. Orafce library is linked with runtime library - this library should to use
   same platform toolset like Postgres server.

3. Start empty project

4. Add existing items - *.c and *.h files except "sqlscan.c". This file is compiled
   as include of sqlparse.c and should not be compiled as separate c file!

5. In configuration manager choose configuration - "Release" and platform. Platform must be
   same like your Postgres server.

6. V project properties set

  Under Configuration Properties -> General, set “Configuration Type” to “Dynamic Library (.dll)”.
  
  Under C/C++ -> Preprocessor Directives, add the directive “WIN32”
  
  Under C/C++ -> Code Generation, set “Enable C++ Exceptions” to “No”
  C/C++ ->Code generation -> Runtime library must be /MD
  
  under “Advanced” set “Compile As” to “C Code”
  
  Under Linker -> Manifest File, set “Generate Manifest” to “No”
  
  Under Linker -> Input -> Additional Dependencies, add postgres.lib to the library list
  
  In the properties dialog, go to Configuration Properties -> C/C++ -> General. 
  
     include\server\port\win32_msvc
     include\server\port\win32
     include\server
     include

  You’ll also need to set the library path. Under “Linker”->”General”, in Additional Library Directories.
  In my case that’s C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\12\lib.

  set Linker->General->Link Library Dependencies to No.
