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

I’m trying to build Postgres 17.0 and have about learning meson as I go.

The build setup command I have so far is:
meson setup build --prefix=%prefix% --buildtype=release -Dssl=auto -Dzlib=auto -Dicu=auto

but I believe that cmd expects ssl, zlib, and icu to be installed in default locations.

How do I specify to meson that I want it to use the versions of those 3 software packages that I have built

e.g.  the openssl I want it to use is located in D:\Postgres-Builds\OpenSSL\OpenSSL-Install\OpenSSL-3.1.6-wx6

and similar locations for icu and zlib?


Thanks, Mark

Specify the lib's paths in "-Dextra_lib_dirs" during meson setup
e.g. meson setup build --prefix=%prefix% --buildtype=release -Dextra_lib_dirs=D:\Postgres-Builds\OpenSSL\OpenSSL-Install\OpenSSL-3.1.6-wx6
