We will cut short the process by using the pre-build server
- Download the prebuild server
curl -s https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/releases/download/v1.10/scrcpy-server-v1.10.jar -O scrcpy-server.jar
- Lets start the setup process: prepare the build
meson x --buildtype release --strip -Db_lto=true -Dprebuilt_server=./scrcpy-server.jar

- Once build is done we can run the tool standalone
./run x
- Or we can install it
sudo ninja -Cx install
