I'm getting this while building with meson:
src/meson.build:151: WARNING: Passed invalid keyword argument "win_subsystem".
WARNING: This will become a hard error in the future.
this argument was ``gui_app:true` prior to meson 0.56. After that version, it is deprecated but still works.
See it on https://mesonbuild.com/Reference-manual.html#executable
Looks that's what happen, seing ubuntu meson package:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=meson
windows msys2 version is patched with +0.56 meson:
https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/blob/master/mingw-w64-akira/Avoid-open-cmd-terminal-running-on-windows.patch
But will rework this to avoid patches for next releases
Converting this to Draft so we know it needs some work. Feel free to mark it ready for a full review once the issue with meson is fixed.
I'm on meson 0.58, should I do conditional compilation for meson >0.56

Is elementary on 0.45?
