Hello Bruce,

to use, need to have meson >= 0.4 and ninja-build packages installed.
Then do the following in main DPDK directory:
meson build
cd build
ninja
sudo ninja install
This will compile up some DPDK libs, the FVL PMD and testpmd and install
them in /usr/local/. [On Fedora you will need to add /usr/local/lib64 to
your ld path, it's not there by default.]
Then you can run testpmd as e.g.

I tried this with x86 and it worked like a charm. Really nice and clean
way to build DPDK - and super fast. Awesome.
I want to use this for an ARM target. Any idea what I should change in
meson.build? Or, is that even straightforward?
(Yes, I can lookup documentation for meson - just being lazy. If you
don't have much idea, I will give this a spin on ARM in a couple of
days)
