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?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the #ifndef WIN32 preprocessor guards in HttpAppFramework.h and ConfigLoader.cc to understand why enableDynamicViewsLoading is disabled on Windows. Check if there are missing implementations or platform specific issues that prevent it from working, and consider proposing a fix.
