Hi. > "Alternatively, PostgreSQL can be built using Meson.

I believe in this section it should be "Visual Studio" as we specify elsewhere [1][2]. In [2] we name specific required versions. Maybe we should reference this section. While on it, in [2] section 17.7.5 is named "Visual". I don't think such a product exists and find it confusing. Maybe we should rename the section to "Visual Studio". Also I don't see any mention of the minimum required version of Ninja. I think we should add it too, or maybe reference the corresponding section I couldn't find in "17.1 Requirements" [1]: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/install-meson.html [2]: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/installation-platform-notes.html -- Best regards, Aleksander Alekseev
