No, you don't need meson. See my other reply. I happen to cross-build freetype for both mingw32/64 and Darwin (mac os x) from time to time on Linux, just the traditional autoconf way: ./configure ... ; make ...
That was how it was done for DECADES, before the NEW meson system was added. Freetype 2 is almost 30 years old now, and if you count freetype 1 too, over 30. Meson itself is only about 10.
