[dpdk-dev] How to set up meson cross build?

["Ruifeng Wang (Arm Technology China)" <Ruifeng.Wang@arm.com>]

Hi Luca,

I'm setting up a cross compiling environment, and hit meson cross compiling issue.
Could you take a look and help?

I have installed cross toolchain and numactl according to https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/linux_gsg/cross_build_dpdk_for_arm64.html
Currently, cross compiling with 'make' is successful, however meson cross compiling always fail.
Commands used for meson compiling:
meson arm64-build --cross-file config/arm/arm64_armv8_linux_gcc
ninja -C arm64-build

Errors hit:
aarch64-linux-gnu/bin/ld: lib/librte_eal.so.10.1: version node not found for symbol numa_run_on_node_mask@@libnuma_1.2
aarch64-linux-gnu/bin/ld: failed to set dynamic section sizes: Bad value

Have you ever hit such issue, or can you indicate how to proceed?
Thanks.
