Thanks Tom! I also need to change the default port from 5433 to 5432 (--with-pgport=5433). How can I do this using the build.bat toolchain? I don't see the pgport parameter in the config_default.pl file.

Since Postgres 10 this file has been removed. Yup. It didn't really work right and there was insufficient interest in maintaining it. > Is it still possilbe to build a static postgres.lib for windows ? And if so, how do I do it. Run the normal build process using MSVC, and then just take libpq.lib from the results. On any modern machine that's just going to take a few minutes, so it's not worth maintaining a separate libpq-only build path. regards, tom lane
