Description

executable('foo', 'foo.cs',
  resources: 'foo.resx,bar.resource'
)

Passing that directly to mcs should work, we just need to understand , and the different output name. It is a bit ugly though I don't know a better syntax.

Research direction
Investigate how Meson currently handles resource files for other languages (e.g., C++). Locate the C# backend in the Meson source (likely in mesonbuild/compilers/cs.py). Understand the syntax for passing resource IDs to mcs and implement the parsing for comma separated resources. Ensure the output file naming is correct. Since this issue is old and has no comments, consider asking maintainers for current status or guidance.
