I just successfully compiled postgres with meson and readline, using msvc, only tweaking psql_completion() contents. The readline I used for building with msvc is from vcpkg.exe install --triplet x64-windows readline-win32 pkgconf I also installed icu zlib zstd libxml2 libxslt tcl that way, but shouldn't matter here. vcpkg is installed in c:/dev/vcpkg Other steps: # let meson know where to get pkgconf from, could also add it to PATH $ENV:PKG_CONFIG="c:/dev/vcpkg/installed/x64-windows/tools/pkgconf/pkgconf.exe" # specify location of pkgconfig files, so meson can get compilation flags meson setup --buildtype debug -Dpkg_config_path=c:/dev/vcpkg/installed/x64-windows/debug/lib/pkgconfig ... # when running tests, the readline dll needs to be somewhere in PATH $ENV:PATH="$ENV:PATH;c:/dev/vcpkg/installed/x64-windows/debug/bin" If you want to build an optimized postgres, you'd need to change the pkg_config_path and PATH so it doesn't include debug/ (this is because of needing to link to the same CRT).
