Hello,

New to this list so hoping this the appropriate place to ask.

I am looking to build a static x64 version of libpq from 9.4.5 source using=
 Visual Studio 2015. As far as I can tell, there are two ways to go about i=
t:

(from src)
nmake /f win32.mak CPU=3DAMD64

... which fails with an "left of lc_codepage specifies undefined struct/uni=
on __crt_locale_data" in chklocale.c(214).


And secondly invoking the build script residing in src/tools/msvc  with "bu=
ild libpq" - however it fails with unsupported VS version.

As far as I can tell from the Perl source, the last version that solution/p=
roject files can be created for is 12 so I guess it makes perfect sense.

Does anybody know if there is a patch floating around that adds support for=
 VS 2015?

Thanks in advance.
