I've just tried this change: --- meson.build.orig 2020-09-03 11:14:20.233605000 +0000 +++ meson.build 2020-09-03 11:14:43.661313000 +0000 @@ -1405,7 +1405,7 @@ util_dep = cc.find_library('util', required: false) if util_dep.found() - add_project_link_arguments('-lutil', language: 'c') + add_global_link_arguments('-lutil', language: 'c') endif if not get_option('virtualport').disabled() It doesn't work, the build is still failing with it.
