Update platform notes to build Postgres on macos

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.
