Meson build not working

I got some errors when building with meson:

Thanks for the report. Sadly it is a known issue for me to fix before v0.1.1-alpha of vs is released.

TinyCC is distributed with no meson nor cmake support out of the box. As a temporary stopgap, I put together a very half baked (and questionable) meson file (on the other repo, this one is overridden because as you have seen it does not work. It is barely enough to make it work on my system, and it still requires to manually run make inside the tcc subdir during its first build).

Can I take this issue?

[KaruroChori]

Yes, sure! For reference, this is what is injected when imported in the other repo: https://github.com/KaruroChori/vs-fltk/tree/master/subprojects/packagefiles/libtcc
