1. Update platform notes to build Postgres on macos

   Said Assemlal <sassemlal@neurorx.com> — 2024-07-04T18:02:43Z

   Hi,
   
   
   I just built postgresql on macos sonoma (v14) and I had to install the 
   following packages:
   
     * * icu - https://ports.macports.org/port/icu/
     * * pkg - https://ports.macports.org/port/pkgconfig/
   
   I don't see anything related to this on 
   https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/installation-platform-notes.html
   
   Did I miss something ? Should we add a note?
   
   best,
   Saïd

   ./configure —help 
   
   It will show that you can build —without-icu , 
   you can also specify a path to pkg-config via PKG_CONFIG=/path/to/pkg-config 
   
   side note: I’ve had better experience building with brew on macos, rather than macports.

   Hi
   
   I think the documentation should be updated and all pre-reqs must be added.
