The new version of cysignals, released just a couple of hours ago, now builds using Meson and works fine on Windows. Thanks Dima and Frédéric for the quick reviews and the new release! At the moment, we don't provide wheels for windows but this can be added if it's a hard requirement for you or other projects (tracked at https://github.com/sagemath/cysignals/issues/211, pointers on how to best do this are welcome)
@Marc, Nathan & collaborators: I've seen that CyPari has some Windows-specific signal handling. Would be awesome if these changes could be added to cysignals (if necessary and not done already) and then you could perhaps use cysignals in Cypari.
