If you compile and install DPDK using meson and ninja - or install the DPDK package from your linux distro - you will have a 'libdpdk.pc' file installed for use by pkg-config. Then for building your application, put in the relevant calls to pkg-config i.e. 'pkg-config --cflags libdpdk' and 'pkg-config --libs libdpdk', into your app makefile and work from there. Note too, that all DPDK header files should already be safe for inclusion in C++ code - if not, please log a bug. Regards, /Bruce
