Hi,

Yea. They might not be independent of where you get other dependencies from
though. Does macports install headers / libraries into a path that's found by
default? Or does one have to pass --with-includes / --with-libs to configure
and set PKG_CONFIG_PATH, like with homebrew?

Except that with meson doing PKG_CONFIG_PATH should suffice for most (all?)
dependencies on macos, and that the syntax for with-includes/libs is a bit
different (-Dextra_include_dirs=... and -Dextra_lib_dirs=...) and that
optionally one can use a parameter (--pkg-config-path) instead of
PKG_CONFIG_PATH, that part shouldn't really differ from what's neccesary
for configure.

Greetings,

Andres Freund
