Hi, have You tried maybe to install it on Windows?, I am having quite a trouble with it. When I try to "make" it I get such an error:
Makefile:19: Files/PostgreSQL/11/lib/pgxs/src/makefiles/pgxs.mk: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target 'Files/PostgreSQL/11/lib/pgxs/src/makefiles/pgxs.mk'. Stop.
Apparently, there is no pgxs for windows, does anyone knows how to install it, or any workaround on how to install this extension on Windows?

I used chocolatey make but I get the error too:
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, pg_config --pgxs, ...) failed.
Makefile:18: pipe: No error
make: *** No targets. Stop.

Yeah, the build process depends on pgxs, which explicitly doesn't support windows. I don't run postgres on windows, and completely replacing the build process would be out-of-scope.
Maybe look at https://postgrespro.com/list/thread-id/1835275 for some pointers? It seems like doing this on windows is kind of non-trivial.
