If you want to override the message from a specific dependency() call,
"required" defaults to true and aborts on the line before
"if not pcre2.found()"
You could do:
https://mesonbuild.com/Reference-manual_functions.html#dependency_not_found_message
not_found_message: 'only a broken pcre2 install found and pcre2 is required'
Alternatively, required: false followed by if not pcre2.found() -->
error(). But you will need "allow_fallback: true" as I responded in a
previous message.
