Not sure. For a project that could be used in bare metal machines
+ spice, you can check:

    https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/spice/x11spice

Spice-protocol is only headers but git master is using meson [0]
and should be as simple as running:

 cd spice-protocol
 meson . _build --prefix=/usr
 ninja -C _build install 

[0] https://mesonbuild.com/

PS: autotools was dropped after 0.14.1 at 3394652 "Remove
autotools files in favor of meson" in 2020-03-09

So you can also checkout to 0.14.1 and use it if you prefer,
should be fine for spice server.

Cheers,
Victor
