Hi, I apologize for this late reply.
As you advised, I was able to create the ".pc" file manually and set the dependencies using pkgconf. Thank you. However, I have read the PostgreSQL Documentation and did not realize that pkgconf is required. 17.4.3.2. PostgreSQL Features -Dgssapi On many systems, the GSSAPI system (a part of the MIT Kerberos installation) is not installed in a location that is searched by default (e.g., /usr/include, /usr/lib). In those cases, PostgreSQL will query pkg-config to detect the required compiler and linker options. -Dlibxml To use a libxml2 installation that is in an unusual location, you can set pkg-config-related environment variables (see its documentation). Only a few options have a pkg-config description. It would be easier to understand pkg-config in the "17.4.3. meson setup Options" section. Below is my proposal for the document description. How do you think about this? 17.4.3. meson setup Options PostgreSQL will query pkg-config to detect the required compiler and linker options. To use module installed in an unusual location for each feature (e.g. -Dgssapi, -Dlibxml), set pkg-config-related environment variables (see its documentation).

You can use pkgconf or cmake for the dependencies. I don't want to add "raw" dependency handling for every dependency, they each build in too many variants for that to be a sensible investment of time. Greetings, Andres Freund
