Describe the bug

Hey I am trying to build scrcpy for win64 client. I have follow the build instructurction, but I don't need the server but only the client. So I figured out the command below.

meson setup build-win64 --cross-file cross_win64_modified.txt --buildtype release --strip -Db_lto=true -Dprebuilt_server=/home/ubuntu/dev/c/scrcpy/scrcpy-server-v2.4

However it fails if I run

I did install it.

sudo apt install mingw-w64 mingw-w64-tools

What should I do or check? Is this even a correct command? if I omit --cross-file cross_win64_modified.txt It does configure and I can finish the build. but I can't find scrcpy.exe. What would be the correct steps to compile win64 client in Ubuntu 22.04?

Your meson is too old.

Just revert this commit to make it work: 85a94dd
