I ran meson.py using the following command

python meson.py build -Denable-autodiff=true -Denable-directdiff=true -Denable-pywrapper=true -Denable-tests=true

It didn't find the mpicc install and the rest ran fine but at the end i got the following error.

SU2 8.0.0 "Harrier"

  User defined options
    enable-autodiff  : true
    enable-directdiff: true
    enable-pywrapper : true
    enable-tests     : true

ERROR: Unhandled python exception

    This is a Meson bug and should be reported!

It seems like it can't find the right files or is looking for the wrong files as I look through those directories I find

C:\mingw64\lib\gcc\x86_64-w64-mingw32\lib (not in the folder 8.1.0)

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\MPI\Lib\x64\msmpi.lib

Not really sure what's happening when I try to run ninja I get this

ninja: error: loading 'build.ninja': The system cannot find the file specified.

ninja: Entering directory `build'

Hi, I am getting the exact same error. Did you happen to know what's going on? Thanks!
