Description

Trying to create dynamic views, I have followed Wiki but as it doesn't work I have checked the source code and I have seen this

#ifndef _WIN32

https://github.com/drogonframework/drogon/blob/5509091ab8e90bc12df4375b55dee06e7496feb0/lib/src/ConfigLoader.cc#L376

Is this functionality not available under Windows? Apparently it should work on Windows without problem no?

Research direction
Examine the preprocessor guard in lib/inc/drogon/HttpAppFramework.h and lib/src/ConfigLoader.cc. Remove the `#ifndef WIN32` and implement dynamic views loading for Windows. Test with a Windows build and verify functionality.
