Getting Aravis on Win10

Hello, I managed to make aravis work on Ubuntu.
I would like to do the same for windows 10.

I downloaded the last version of aravis available in zip format.
I then installed Msys2 and I typed the following command:
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-aravis-gst
But when I run the command: meson build
I get the following errors:

However the pkg-config file is well in : C:\msys64\mingw64\bin

So I tried the option : meson configure -D pkg_config_path=\msys64\mingw64\bin
But nothing changes.
Do you have an idea ?

TY in advance

Meson says quite clearly (in red) that pkg-config and glib-2.0 was not found. But then… why do you need those? Perhaps you have some confusion between building and installing a package? (Sorry if that is clear, but it just looks like you do). pacman -S will download a compiled version, you don’t need to run meson at all. Go directly to to running arv-viewer-0.8.exe which is in the mingw-w64-x86_64-aravis-gst package already.

If you have a reason that you want to build the package locally by yourself, please explain more.

HTH,

edx.
