I am using MSYS2 UCRT environment to compile a test a C/C++ program and need to link with a third-party library installed on Windows.

I cannot create a simple exactable using meson build system on windows. The project I am working on uses an external library, for which I create a dependency. First of all I notices that using / as a concatenation operator for paths does not work properly (see the comments below). And secondarily, the library path is passed into the linker with slashes ‘/’ in the path, which is wrong, as the path is treated as a set of options.
