    This is not you, this is a Meson bug wherein Meson neglects to disable an annoying feature of VS that is enabled by default. I've submitted a fix to Meson but it didn't make it into the 1.3.0 release :( You can either not use VS (see the MSVC part of the guide) as a permanent fix, or remove this line of code as a temporary fix.

    I've been aware of this problem for a few weeks but didn't mention it in the guide because the 1.3.0 release of Meson was near and I thought my fix would make it .-.

    Edit: It's in the guide now.

    Feel free to stay in this thread. I've never seen that error and I don't feel like trying to figure out VS nonsense unless I really have to; can you try deleting your build site (the build-whatever directory) and setting it up again?

    edit: nvm it only did it 1 time

    That is extremely cursed, I've never seen that happen >_> I guess just use the MSVC guide?
