Hi!
I don't have my Windows PC near me just now, I take information from my
memory regarding these
libraries.
I use Windows package manager vcpkg to build these libraries, and vcpkg
uses msvc (Visual Studio).
As I remember, icu, libxml2, libxslt build by vcpkg have .pc file.
Really pc file is easy to
create by hands the text file with
a) product name and version
b) relative (from .pc file location) path to libs
c) relative path to includes
Libraries with .pc file can be listed in environment variable
PKG_CONFIG_PATH.
gettext does not have pc file, and lib and include location must be
included in extra_include_dirs
and extra_lib_dirs options, that are PostgreSQL options in meson (not
meson itself options) added
for libraries without .pc file.
Steps to build PostgreSQL under Windsows using meson and vcpkg
1) create build.cmd for all commands
2) install vcpkg to any location (except network drive, it has problems
with it. Hard drive C: is OK)
3) install all libraries:
vcpkg install libxml2
etc...
4) look for all libraries lib/pkgconf library and find .pc file. All pc
file paths add to
SET PKG_CONFIG_PATH=... in build.cmd
5) all libraries without pc file - add to -Dextra_include_dirs= and
-Dextra_lib_dirs for meson command,
that prepares the build directory - add it to build.cmd
6) add in the beginning build.cmd this or correct path for your system
call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual
Studio\2022\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" x64
7) run build.cmd
This library configuration should work. I recommend install libraries to
special location for every
build version to control exact location and library version. vcpkg has
options for library version
and install directory.
