wasm-pack installations fails, because of a wrong OpenSSL linkage
wasm-pack build is not working, because GNU gettext is needed
Documentation mentions OPENSSLDIR instead of OPENSSL_DIR (style error with wrong usage of italic markdown)
Usage of Linux commands xargs and stat fails on plain Windows environment
Diesel will not build without a PQ_LIB_DIR environment variable which points to the postgress lib folder
Maybe for Postgres and OpenSSL a manual update for the environment variable PATH is needed (in this case to run plm and plume)

I tried to build Plume from the sources under Windows 10/11 64bit and run in a lot of issues, because the installation steps are a little bit outdated. This issue describes the gaps in the documentation. A PR will fix it. * wasm-pack installations fails, because of a wrong OpenSSL linkage * wasm-pack build is not working, because GNU gettext is needed * Documentation mentions `OPENSSLDIR` instead of `OPENSSL_DIR` (style error with wrong usage of italic markdown) * Usage of Linux commands `xargs` and `stat` fails on plain Windows environment * Diesel will not build without a `PQ_LIB_DIR` environment variable which points to the postgress lib folder * Maybe for Postgres and OpenSSL a manual update for the environment variable `PATH` is needed (in this case to run `plm` and `plume`)
