I am using Windows 10.0.16299.309 64 bits french and Visual Studio 2017
community edition 15.6.0

Here is complete stacktrace I obtain when using meson installed by its win64
installer and python 3.6.4:

I checked out glib-schannel in bash shell (from Ubuntu 16.04 from Windows
Store) using git 2.7.4.

I did not know visual studio has a cmd prompt ! I am just launched cmd from
searchbar. Notice I added C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual
Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.13.26128\bin\Hostx64\x64 to my PATH.
