I also made a similar patch here https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/F28283CF-AC9C-4930-9D84-56CD9E105504%40gmail.com. I pretty much did the same thing but I also added postgres_inc to dependency because it cannot find postgres headers inside libpq’s headers. After looking at your patch i have few questions. Is meson.override_dependency(‘libpq’, libpq) really needed? It looks like it does nothing. In flex cmd args you removed —build-dir and —source-dir, was that necessary?
Also when I was testing ur patch I couldn’t build libpq because of the problem with include directories of dependency that I mentioned. I attach the result patch with fix which only adds postgres_inc to libpq dependency include_directories to your patch.
