-Subject: [PATCH] scanner: Fix library lookup under MinGW without libtool
-
-When executing the scanner binary use the PATH/LIB env vars
-also under MinGW, since LD_LIBRARY_PATH/rpath doesn't work there.
-
-When resolving the library name from the import library look into
-the user provided library paths first before falling back to the
-default gcc search path.
-
-This fixes the gir/typelib generation for meson under MSYS2.
-Note that MSYS2 ships various patches, so this might not fix it
-for all MinGW users.
