It seems that Microsoft documentation [1] uses "target" and "host" terms for what Meson documentation [2] calls "host" and "build" respectively. This deserves a notice to avoid confusion. [1]: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/reference/command-prompt-powershell?view=vs-2022 [2]: https://mesonbuild.com/Cross-compilation.html Why manually specifying architectures is recommended? If it is mandatory, please use imperative so that no one skips this step. However, Meson has cross-compilation features, don't they work (cross-compilation from Windows has never been considered yet)? > The developer prompt will configure the environment > to select the appropriate compiler, linker and SDK paths > required to build with Visual Studio 2022. > > .. code-block:: console > > + "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual > Studio\2022\Enterprise\Common7\Tools\VsDevCmd.bat" -host_arch=amd64 > -arch=amd64 > + > +Compile the code from the developer prompt. > + > +.. code-block:: console > + > cd C:\Users\me\dpdk > meson setup -Denable_stdatomic=true build > meson compile -C build
