| ## Force Visual Studio environment activation |
| |
| Since `0.59.0`, meson automatically activates Visual Studio environment on Windows |
| for all its subcommands, but only if no other compilers (e.g. `gcc` or `clang`) |
| are found, and silently continue if Visual Studio activation fails. |
| |
| `meson setup --vsenv` command line argument can now be used to force Visual Studio |
| activation even when other compilers are found. It also make Meson abort with an |
| error message when activation fails. This is especially useful for Github Action |
| because their Windows images have gcc in their PATH by default. |
| |
| `--vsenv` is set by default when using `vs` backend. |
| |
| Only `setup`, `compile`, `dist` and `devenv` subcommands now activate Visual Studio. |
