Platform and tools details

OS: Windows 11
Visual Studio 2022 Community edition
Python v3.10.7
Build Environment: x64
Meson Version: 1.4.0
r2frida: v5.9.0
radare2: v5.9.0

Issue

I have first downloaded the above mentioned versions of r2frida (git cloned r2frida repository) and radare2 (downloaded release). Extracted radare2-x.y.z and renamed it to radare2. Place radare2 folder **(to avoid any issues I also placed the contents of radare2 inside the r2frida folder)** inside the r2fridafolder and ranpreconfigure.bat` and got output:

=== Finding Git...

[vcvarsall.bat] Environment initialized for: 'x86_x64'

After that I executed configure.bat and for that I got error:

"Configuring the build directory with cmake"

ERROR: Neither source directory 'w' nor build directory None contain a build file meson.build.
WARNING: Running the setup command as `meson [options]` instead of `meson setup [options]` is ambiguous and deprecated.

EDIT 1: You don't have to run configure.bat. To successfully build r2frida from source on Windows, you can make changes to preconfigure.bat and make.bat as mentioned in the PRs below (Note that these PRs were pending for approval as of the time of writing this edit).

#590
#589
#591

EDIT 2: Even after successfully building r2frida from source or even using pre-built r2-frida it doesn't work. Here is the issue raised for the same.

Yes. The PRs fixed this issue. The issue was raised before I made those PRs. I apologise for any confusion. Thank you @trufae.

I'll close this issue as it is irrelevant after PRs merged into main.
