2024-06-01 Thread Dave Trombley via Cygwin
Meson appears to be two majore versions behind in cygwin (1.2.3 is latest available, 1.4.0 was released mid-March this year). Major projects are starting to not be compilable on Cygwin, consequently, short of manually building a custom meson that is up to date (for example, libcairo requires 1.3).
