FW: Building Postgres 17.0 with meson

Srinath is in India I believe and not available currently.   Does anybody have any idea why meson

is not finding the paths I’m specifying with the -Dextra_lib_dirs and  -Dextra_include_dirs?  See below.

Thanks, Mark

Hi Srinath,

Thanks for the tip.

I tried:

meson setup build --prefix=%prefix% --buildtype=release -Dextra_lib_dirs=%openssl_directory%,%zlib_directory%,%icu4c_directory% -Dextra_include_dirs=%openssl_directory%,%zlib_directory%,%icu4c_directory%

using both the -Dextra_lib_dirs and -Dextra_include_dirs and it’s still not finding openssl, icu, or zlib.

In the External libraries information toward the end of the output, it says:
External libraries

    icu                    : NO

    openssl                : NO

    zlib                   : NO

I removed the other libraries in the output for brevity.

I’ve checked my variables and they’re correct and those libraries are there.

Am I missing an option to meson setup build?

Thanks, Mark
