How to link statically to a dependency builded with msbuild?

On unix, it is easy to link with another program that dont use meson because of pkgconfig, but what is the alternative on windows?

You can use compiler.find_library:

cc = meson.get_compiler('c')
mylibrary_dep = cc.find_library('mylibrary',
                                dirs: ['path/to/libs/mylibrary'])

There are additional options like checking for headers, etc.

For additional functionality, for example including compile arguments, you can use declare_dependency

cc = meson.get_compiler('c')
lib = cc.find_library('mylibrary',
                      dirs: ['path/to/libs/mylibrary'])
mylibrary_dep = declare_dependency(dependencies: [lib],
                                   compile_args: ['-Dfoo=bar'])
