I am having a hard time trying to install the library libpostal on a Windows system. I tried many times to install this library even with an other computer, but I didn't succeed.
I have followed differents instructions : https://github.com/openvenues/libpostal or https://github.com/openvenues/pypostal/pull/39/files and nothing working.
So, I have installed Visual Studio 2019 C++ Build Tools, MSYS2 and executed the code :
pacman -Syu
pacman -S autoconf automake curl git make libtool gcc mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc
git clone https://github.com/openvenues/libpostal
cd libpostal
cp -rf windows/* ./
./bootstrap.sh
./configure --datadir=/c
make -j4
make install
I've tried also with a different version :
pacman -S autoconf automake curl git make libtool gcc mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc
git clone https://github.com/openvenues/libpostal
cd libpostal
cp -rf windows/* ./
./bootstrap.sh
./configure --datadir=/c
make
make install
mkdir headers && cp -r /usr/include/libpostal/ headers/
Then I have executed the command to install the library :
Now start a command prompt which has access to the Microsoft toolchain. This can be done by e.g. installing the Windows 10 SDK and then running the x64 Native Tools Command Prompt.

As you can see, the installation failed. This file (libpostal.h) isn't on the directory but even if I copy it manually the installation still not working.
If you could help me to install this library because I've been trying to install this library for several days.
It would be very nice of you. Thank you.
