Noticed this in coding_style.rst, it should be changed. The make build will be deprecated.
Integrating with the Build System --------------------------------- DPDK supports being built in two different ways: * using ``make`` - or more specifically "GNU make", i.e. ``gmake`` on FreeBSD * using the tools ``meson`` and ``ninja`` Any new library or driver to be integrated into DPDK should support being built with both systems. While building using ``make`` is a legacy approach, and most build-system enhancements are being done using ``meson`` and ``ninja`` there are no plans at this time to deprecate the legacy ``make`` build system
