How to specify meson dependency for library and header files on Windows

Question

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.

installpath = '/c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Foo/Tester'

libpath = installpath + '/bin'

incpath = installpath + '/include/tester/x64'

libfiles = 'msdia140.dll', 'symsrv.dll', 'TesterCore.lib', 'TesterCore.dll'

incfiles = 'tester.h'

How do I define a dependency for this library to compile and link with my test executable?

With compiler.find_library() you can pass your installpath variable to search for the proper header and libraries. The returned object is a dep, which you can use in dependencies argument of executable. Also you can try Meson: how to make find_library() works with an unusual path? answer.
