Description Daniele Forghieri 2017-03-25 23:15:40 UTC 
The test/meson.build file looks for python3, using 

python3 = find_program('python3') 

that fails on windows.

From the meson site the correct way, that works also on windows, is to use:

python3 = import('python3').find_python() 

With this patch I was able to build json-glib 1.2.8 on windows with Visual studio 2015 (in the wingtk/wtk-win32 stack.

Thanks

Thanks for testing JSON-GLib on Windows with Meson! :-)

I've pushed a fix to the master branch, and will cherry pick to the stable 1.2 branch later.
