Error when compiling postgresql 9.6.7 with Visual Studio 15.5.6

[Aditya Nugraha <vortexilation@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello everyone,

   When trying to compile postgresql 9.6.7 with Visual Studio 15.5.6,
i am getting errors at these following line :
"C:\Users\nameless\Documents\Works\Compiling\pgwininstall\builddir\postgresql\postgresql-9.6.7\pgsql.sln"

t) (1) ->

Searching through the mailinglist archive i am getting this thread :
http://www.postgresql-archive.org/Building-PostgreSQL-9-6devel-sources-with-Microsoft-Visual-C-2015-td5880108.html

But the intended patched file is different than above error which is
on this src/backend/utils/adt/pg_locale.c file.

Here is the snapshot of the offending code from pg_locale.c file :
/* Locale names use only ASCII, any conversion locale suffices. */
rc = wchar2char(iso_lc_messages, loct->locinfo->locale_name[LC_CTYPE],
sizeof(iso_lc_messages), NULL);

Can anyone tell me the fixes ?.


Cheers.
