It is not possible to use Postgres as meson wrap subproject at least out of box. But I think it can be easily fixed. I
madea small patch for libpq and it works. There were two problems, first is catalog header generator using @SOURCE_DIR@
asroot for paths, which will use main root project as source dir, so I just changed it to meson.project_source_root().
Secondwas that libpq dependency include_directories had no dependent headers(for example postgres_ext.h) so I just used
include_directoriesthat were also used in libpq_so, libpq_st. So the patch looks like this for commit

So to use Postgres as wrap subproject u need to change @SOURCE_DIR@ to meson.project_source_root() and check
include_directoriesfor all dependencies. Is there any plans to support it?
