Problem Description

I can't compile diesel_cli when i try this command : cargo install diesel_cli --no-default-features --features postgres.
The full error message : https://pastebin.com/vVRK3cxi

What are you trying to accomplish?

I have set PATH in user variables

C:\PostgreSQL\pg10\lib
C:\PostgreSQL\pg10\bin

Checklist

• I have already looked over the #587, #843, etc some other issue/subissue

I know, some people already had this kind of errors in past but after some time, i don't find a solution =/

Thanks for your attention!

You should remove \lib from your path. You cannot statically link libpq with msvc. You only need the bin directory on your path.

[sgrif]

You can also just run pg_env.bat which does all the setup needed for you.

Thank you a lot for your very fast response !
But me, i was long because i have do some test whitout succefull solution until I install PostgreSQL with EnterpriseDB installer (not BigSQL as i did). And finally with your instructions it works ! Thank you a lot ! <3

I think we should add these instructions in documentation, it can help some people =)

Feel free to open a pull request to https://github.com/diesel-rs/diesel/blob/master/guide_drafts/backend_installation.md with Windows steps that work for you. Unfortunately, I don't use Windows for development, so I'm not the best person to document how to link libpq on that platform.

@sgrif that backend_installation.md worked me for compile but not working well.
diesel setup 👍 works
diesel migration generate create_posts 👍 works
diesel migration run 👎 not works
diesel migration list 👎 not works
I follwed this link
https://diesel.rs/guides/getting-started/
