As you advised, I was able to create the ".pc" file manually and set the dependencies using pkgconf. Thank you. However, I have read the PostgreSQL Documentation and did not realize that pkgconf is required. 17.4.3.2. PostgreSQL Features -Dgssapi On many systems, the GSSAPI system (a part of the MIT Kerberos installation) is not installed in a location that is searched by default (e.g., /usr/include, /usr/lib). In those cases, PostgreSQL will query pkg-config to detect the required compiler and linker options. -Dlibxml To use a libxml2 installation that is in an unusual location, you can set pkg-config-related environment variables (see its documentation). Only a few options have a pkg-config description. It would be easier to understand pkg-config in the "17.4.3. meson setup Options" section. Below is my proposal for the document description. How do you think about this? 17.4.3. meson setup Options PostgreSQL will query pkg-config to detect the required compiler and linker options. To use module installed in an unusual location for each feature (e.g. -Dgssapi, -Dlibxml), set pkg-config-related environment variables (see its documentation).

You can use pkgconf or cmake for the dependencies. I don't want to add "raw" dependency handling for every dependency, they each build in too many variants for that to be a sensible investment of time.

Meson has more straighforward solution. It uses environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH, that can store the list of directories with all .pc files. Meson uses this list and in this specific order to build project. As wrote in meson documentation (in the source of open source project): # Instead of relying on pkg-config or pkgconf to provide -L flags in a # specific order, we reorder library paths ourselves, according to th # order specified in PKG_CONFIG_PATH. See: # https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/4271 # It would be more clear information in PostgreSQL documentation, that all directories with pc files are listed in one variable. By the way, if you need to add , f.e. libxml library to postgreSQL build, you can 1) build and install it using , f.e. vcpkg: vcpkg install libxml2:windows-x64 --x-install-root=c:\pbuild\libxml2 2) add path to pc directory to PKG_CONFIG_PATH SET PKG_CONFIG_PATH=c:\pbuild\libxml2\winsows-x64\lib\pkgconfig;%PKG_CONFIG_PATH% 3) make steps with build meson setup c:\builddir\... --prefix=c:\postgresdir\... It is just one install and one manipulation with environment variable. No indeterminate behaviour with other variables used by specific packages and a libraries order. > > Regards, > Kohei Harikae > > -----Original Message----- > From: Andres Freund <[email protected]> > Sent: Thursday, November 7, 2024 4:05 AM > To: Harikae, Kohei/張替 浩平 <[email protected]> > Cc: '[email protected]' > <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: Windows meson build > > Hi, > > On 2024-11-05 06:32:51 +0000, Kohei Harikae (Fujitsu) wrote: >> I do not use pkgconf in my Windows environment. >> In my Windows environment, I could not build the following OSS with >> meson. >> - 0001 icu >> - 0002 libxml >> - 0003 libxslt >> - 0004 lz4 >> - 0005 tcl >> - 0006 zlib >> - 0007 zstd >> >> [1]thread, I created a patch like the one in the attached file, and >> now I can build. >> Would you like to be able to build OSS with Windows meson without >> using pkgconf? > > You can use pkgconf or cmake for the dependencies.

Actual information is added, excessive information is removed. I think in the phrase: "add the directory where the .pc file resides to PKG_CONFIG_PATH." better to add wording, that PKG_CONFIG_PATH is the list of directories separated by PATH separator ( ; in Windows, : in POSIX). Otherwise the reader has to search additional information about this variable in meson documentation. -- Best regards, Vladlen Popolitov. ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 5+ messages in thread

Hi I think, it is better to add the other options how to configure external libraries, if they do not have .pc file: add meson options defined by PostgreSQL for its configuration (gettext library example) -Dextra_include_dirs=c:\postgres\gettext\x64-windows\include,c:\otherlibs\include -Dextra_lib_dirs=c:\postgres\gettext\x64-windows\lib,c:\otherlibs\lib extra_include_dirs and extra_lib_dirs are options defined by PostgreSQL. This options are comma separated lists of directories, if every value does not contain comma itself. -- Best regards, Vladlen Popolitov. ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 5+ messages in thread
