[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 2/3] build: allow to hide dependencies from pkg-config

[Thomas Monjalon <thomas@monjalon.net>]

If a dependency is required for a driver build,
but should not be exposed to the application (via pkg-config),
it can be declared in the array hidden_deps.

The hidden_deps are used as internal dependencies,
when building the shared library and the first stage of static library.
The final static library does not include the hidden_deps
because this library object is used to generate the .pc file.
