The Powder Toy – how to build on visual studio

This is not you, this is a Meson bug wherein Meson neglects to disable an annoying feature of VS that is enabled by default. I’ve submitted a fix to Meson but it didn’t make it into the 1.3.0 release 🙁 You can either not use VS (see the MSVC part of the guide) as a permanent fix, or remove this line of code as a temporary fix.

I’ve been aware of this problem for a few weeks but didn’t mention it in the guide because the 1.3.0 release of Meson was near and I thought my fix would make it .-.

Edit: It’s in the guide now.
