Using Visual Studio C++ compiler w/ Meson?

Question

I'm trying to use https://github.com/Pizzabelly/EasyRP to create a desktop application, and I need a C++ compiler to continue. It says to download "any c++ compiler (cl, g++, clang++, etc)", and I'm wondering if I have to download a new package/directory to continue, or if there's a way to use something from Visual Studio 2019 (which I'm using for code development).

Thanks in advance. I'm a total newbie.

I followed https://mesonbuild.com/Using-with-Visual-Studio.html along with https://github.com/Pizzabelly/EasyRP . Make sure to use the VS command line. Also, EasyRP says to run msbuild /p:Configuration=Release , and I had to add msbuild /p:Configuration=Release ALLBUILD.vcxproj so that it would properly build.
