Build fails on Windows

[Thomas Mahler]

while trying to build on windows I get the following error:

Hi,
Yes, sorry, I didn't list system dependencies.

In my Dockerfile (not committed), I have to add these libs :

RUN dnf install ghc-pcre-light pcre-devel -y
RUN dnf install libpq-devel -y

I don't know how to get that on windows, a Dockerfile would be OK for you ?

[Thomas Mahler]

Yes, dockerfile is OK.
But I prefer to work natively under windows...

[Matthieu Jacquot]

It has been a long wait, but dockerized version is now available ;)
I'll close this issue, feel free to reopen it if you still have problems
