gst-plugins-base: build fails: error: unknown type name ‘EGL_DISPMANX_WINDOW_T’

Attempting to build gst-plugins-base-1.18.4.tar.xz.

meson version: 0.56.2

ninja version: 1.10.1

On Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W using:

  Linux raspberrypiZ2 5.10.63-v7+ #1488 SMP Thu Nov 18 16:14:44 GMT 2021 armv7l GNU/Linux

At file 201, this error message appears (I added line numbers, i.e. 333 to the output):
