Hi

Did somebody test compilation of any extension on the WIN platform by
using meson?

I prepared meson.build
https://github.com/orafce/orafce/blob/master/meson.build

I tested it successfully on Linux.

But it fails on Windows - a lot of compilation fails on missing
libintl.h

DOCDIR = C:/PROGRA~1/POSTGR~1/16/doc
HTMLDIR = C:/PROGRA~1/POSTGR~1/16/doc
INCLUDEDIR = C:/PROGRA~1/POSTGR~1/16/include
PKGINCLUDEDIR = C:/PROGRA~1/POSTGR~1/16/include
INCLUDEDIR-SERVER = C:/PROGRA~1/POSTGR~1/16/include/server`

looks so msvc cannot work with just this configuration.

I can compile orafce when I use setup described by
https://github.com/orafce/orafce/blob/master/README.msvc

Regards

Pavel

Hi!

In other thread https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/TYVPR01MB1133078C93F9FE432CA466573E40E2%40TYVPR01MB11330.jpnprd01.prod.outlook.com Kohei Harikae makes good work to clarify meson documentation, especially regarding additional libraries.

I suppose in your case meson did not found gettext library, libintl.h from this library.

You can:
1) install gettext, f.e by vcpkg package manager:
vcpkg.exe install gettext:x64-windows --x-install-root=c:\postgres\gettext

2) You could add gettext .pc file directory to PKG_CONFIG_PATH ( ; separated list, meson uses configarations in this order SET PKG_CONFIG_PATH=c:\postgres\gettext\x64-windows\lib\pkgconfig;%PKG_CONFIG_PATH% but this file is not created for this library (you can create it by yourself, but exists other solution - in step 4) 3) make all other steps to run meson, f.e. call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" x64

4) run meson setup with option -Dnls=enabled - it enables national languages and uses gettext. And you have to add options for gettext libraries and includes directories:
meson setup c:\builddir -Dnsl=enabled
-Dextra_include_dirs=c:\postgres\gettext\x64-windows\include,c:\otherlibs\include -Dextra_lib_dirs=c:\postgres\gettext\x64-windows\lib,c:\otherlibs\lib ...other options...

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 (if contains, it better to read meson get_options() documentation, it is not easy to explain shortly meson language syntax).

meson using PKG_CONFIG_PATH detects all library and makes all work with include and lib paths,
but if library does not have .pc file, you can define paths in options.

If you build with -Dnlas=enabled, you have to be careful with tests. Tests in this case run with the default system language, and some tests will fail, as they are check log files output
and compare it with English answers.

I hope this helps you.
