DOCS/compile-windows.md: update with meson instructions

No need to encourage waf here.

Note: minor edits by Dudemanguy to update some dead links and such.

@ -4,28 +4,43 @@ Compiling for Windows
Compiling for Windows is supported with MinGW-w64. This can be used to produce
both 32-bit and 64-bit executables, and it works for building on Windows and
cross-compiling from Linux and Cygwin. MinGW-w64 is available from:
http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net.
https://www.mingw-w64.org/
While building a complete MinGW-w64 toolchain yourself is possible, there are a
few build environments and scripts to help ease the process, such as MSYS2 and
MXE. Note that MinGW environments included in Linux distributions are often
broken, outdated and useless, and usually don't use MinGW-w64.
**Warning**: the original MinGW (http://www.mingw.org) is unsupported.
**Warning**: the original MinGW (https://osdn.net/projects/mingw/) is unsupported.
Cross-compilation
=================
When cross-compiling, you have to run mpv's configure with these arguments:
When cross-compiling, it is recommended to use a meson crossfile to setup
the cross compiling environment. A minimal example is included below:
```bash
DEST_OS=win32 TARGET=i686-w64-mingw32 ./waf configure
```ini
[binaries]
c = 'x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc'
cpp = 'x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++'
ar = 'x86_64-w64-mingw32-ar'
strip = 'x86_64-w64-mingw32-strip'
exe_wrapper = 'wine64'
[host_machine]
system = 'windows'
cpu_family = 'x86_64'
cpu = 'x86_64'
endian = 'little'
```
See [meson's documentation](https://mesonbuild.com/Cross-compilation.html) for
more information.
[MXE](https://mxe.cc) makes it very easy to bootstrap a complete MingGW-w64
environment from a Linux machine. See a working example below.
Alternatively, you can try [mingw-w64-cmake](https://github.com/lachs0r/mingw-w64-cmake),
Alternatively, you can try [mpv-winbuild-cmake](https://github.com/shinchiro/mpv-winbuild-cmake),
which bootstraps a MinGW-w64 environment and builds mpv and dependencies.

Building mpv
------------
Clone the latest mpv from git and install waf. **Note:** ``/usr/bin/python3``
is invoked directly here, since an MSYS2 version of Python is required.
```bash
git clone https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv.git && cd mpv
/usr/bin/python3 bootstrap.py
```
Finally, compile and install mpv. Binaries will be installed to
``/mingw64/bin`` or ``/mingw32/bin``.
```bash
/usr/bin/python3 waf configure CC=gcc.exe --check-c-compiler=gcc --prefix=$MSYSTEM_PREFIX
/usr/bin/python3 waf install
meson setup build --prefix=$MSYSTEM_PREFIX
meson compile -C build
```
Or, compile and install both libmpv and mpv:
```bash
/usr/bin/python3 waf configure CC=gcc.exe --check-c-compiler=gcc --enable-libmpv-shared --prefix=$MSYSTEM_PREFIX
/usr/bin/python3 waf install
meson setup build -Dlibmpv=true --prefix=$MSYSTEM_PREFIX
