When specifying main manually, this will suffice: 1test_deps=_deps+dependency('Catch2') Which will pick up the pkgconfig configuration typically. However, to use the main which comes with catch2 it is easier to use cmake: 1test_deps+=dependency(2'Catch2',3method:'cmake',4modules:['Catch2::Catch2WithMain'],5) The rest of the tests can be setup via auto-discovery as discussed before.
