…64 toolchain
When using CLANG64 toolchain with MSYS2,
libclang_rt.asan_dynamic-x86_64 is used instead of libasan.
gnome module always trying to add -lasan flag which leads to:
lld: error: unable to find library -lasan
I got the error above with gnome.generate_gir() command.
Library is located at /clang64/lib/clang/${CLANG_MAJOR_VERSION}/lib/windows folder.
The most frustrating part is that it does not work either!
I was forced to specify Windows-style path like C:/msys64/clang64/...
