I didn't do anything like that for the autoconf build. I have in the past done things retail, like

--with-icu ICU_CFLAGS='-I/usr/local/opt/icu4c/include/' ICU_LIBS='-L/usr/local/opt/icu4c/lib/ -licui18n -licuuc -licudata'

Somehow our emails got lower-cased down here, but I tried it with capital D:

meson configure -Dldap=disabled

inside the build dir and got this:

../meson.build:278:2: ERROR: Tried to assign the invalid value "None" of type NoneType to variable.

Line 278 is

  ldap_r = ldap = dependency('', required : false)
