WinPcap or Npcap, can be installed anywhere. Add a Meson option to specify SDK path.I am not sure if it is OK to add a meson option for this, can't we use the default path? And does this mean we will need to add an option for each dependent library in Windows? If not, why pcap is special?There are some meson options for SDK paths already. Are they exceptions?
Right now, yes, they are exceptions, but there is work underway to remove them and just replace them with use of pkg-config. Is there some automatic path discovery mechanism on windows, similar to pkg-config, that can be used rather than having to add explicit dependency paths? /bruce
