I found a problem message: Unsupport graphics type 'spice'

Check manual:
meson:
meson setup virt-viewer-11.0 virt-viewer-build
output:
.
.
Run-time dependency spice-client-glib-2.0 found: NO (tried pkgconfig, framework and cmake)
Run-time dependency spice-client-gtk-3.0 found: NO (tried pkgconfig, framework and cmake)

meson (and pkg-config) not found spice installed packages
first check pc files in packages, and manual symlink (or brew force linking) and check openssl pc files(spice dependencies, when missing is problem)
ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/[email protected]/1.1.1t/lib/pkgconfig/libcrypto.pc /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/libcrypto.pc
ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/[email protected]/1.1.1t/lib/pkgconfig/libssl.pc /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/libssl.pc
ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/[email protected]/1.1.1t/lib/pkgconfig/openssl.pc /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/openssl.pc
ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/spice-gtk/0.42/lib/pkgconfig/spice-client-glib-2.0.pc /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/spice-client-glib-2.0.pc
ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/spice-gtk/0.42/lib/pkgconfig/spice-client-gtk-3.0.pc /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/spice-client-gtk-3.0.pc

second check gettext package (brew force symlink and overwrite)

Exactly the same issue happens for me. spice-gtk and other dependencies have been updated, but this happens and makes virt-viewer throw the same "Unsupported graphics type 'spice'" error:

I fixed this by adding gobject-introspection:
depends_on "gobject-introspection"

Turns out this was already mentioned here: krishjainx@a1c4c9c

I just ran brew reinstall gobject-introspection which fixed the issue with the unsupported graphics type.
Thanks for leading me in the right direction.
