# I think, Build tools does not have link.exe. Based on my testing, I
need to install Micro soft Visual studio community edition get the
link.exe.
For instance, in my case, link.exe is installed in following URL in
Visual Studio, not anywhere in build tools path.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual
Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.16.27023\bin\Hostx64\x64
If it is correct then doc needs to be updated.

Yes, they are, and, in my investigations anyway, I haven't found any way to
get rid of them. The meson support for windows is very much targetted at
users of msvc and clang-cl (which uses the msvc-style flags) rather than
regular clang, so the support is not as clean as I would like. Thankfully,
though, it does appear to be working thus far! :-)
Thanks, Bruce. Yes, few warnings are expected for now.
Regarding link.exe, will update the docs to install the build tools and
select the 'Visual C++ build tools' option which also installs the
linker and SDK required to build on windows.
Doing so, link.exe can be installed in the following URL and installing
Visual Studio can be avoided.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual
Studio\2017\BuildTools\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.16.27023\bin\Hostx64\x64
