Concerns
- COPY . /src relies on the build context; ensure .dockerignore excludes large files/artifacts.
- No non-root user is created; running as root may have production security implications.

Missing packages or files
- libavdevice (via pkg-config) not found
- cmake (tool) not found (Did Not Find CMake: cmake; Found CMake: NO)
- Note: libavdevice58 runtime installed, but libavdevice-dev headers missing
Version/environment
- Meson: 0.61.2
- C compiler: gcc 11.4.0
- CMake: not installed
- libavdevice: missing dev package (headers) despite runtime present
What to fix
- Install CMake (e.g., apt-get install cmake)
- Install libavdevice-dev (or the libavdevice development headers)
- Re-run the build so Meson detects libavdevice and CMakeFROM ubuntu:22.04

The failure is due to a missing libusb-1.0 dependency (the Meson log shows dependency check failure, not a version conflict). The log does show various libraries being installed and the Meson/CMake environment, but nothing indicates a version mismatch.

Error summary: - Exact error message and exit code - ERROR: File 'server/scrcpy-server' could not be found - Exit code: 1 - Failing command/step - RUN meson install -C build (Dockerfile step 7/7) - Missing packages or files mentioned - Missing file: server/scrcpy-server (expected to be installed to /usr/local/bin) - Version mismatch info (present in logs) - Meson version: 0.61.2 - scrcpy project version: 3.3.4 (Project version: 3.3.4) - Build environment: Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy), host C compiler: gcc 11.4.0 - Meson run context shows: build configured with -Dbuildtype=release -Dcompile_app=true -Dcompile_server=true -Dprefix=/usr/local Notes - The build progressed through Meson setup and compilation (step 10 shows building scrcpy), but the server binary was not produced by the install step, causing the install to fail.
