Can't add external libraries to Glib build. Meson config ignores LDFLAGS

[Vitaliy_Tokarev]

Hello!
I’m trying to add paths to external libs to Meson config of GLIB library using c_link_args and cpp_link_args. But there is no effect.
How I can do it?

Meson logs:

Invoking meson like so: env LDFLAGS="-L/media/vitaliy/data/projects/probo_2.0/build/externals/rtcdcpp/externals/libffi-3.2.1/out/lib" meson builddir should work

Thanks, now LDFLAGS are added to environment, but Glib build still can’t find a library:

I’m trying to add library to LDFLAGS due to linker error during glib binaries building:
