To get a clean DPDK build on FreeBSD you need to remove this example from the list of examples you are requesting to be built as part of the SDK build.
One suggestion to find all the examples which are working on FreeBSD is to pass "-Dexamples=all" to meson, rather than requesting each by name. This will attempt to build all examples, but won't error out on any that are not buildable, instead it will just skip them. Regards, /Bruce
