Description

This is an issue with gio-unix-2.0 and gio-windows-2.0 since only one is available on each platform and when including both in dependencies, it break both.

The current solution is to conditionally construct a dependency array, but that's not really convenient.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how Meson resolves dependencies for Vala compilations and propose a method to conditionally include platform specific dependencies like gio unix 2.0 or gio windows 2.0.
