The ip_pipeline example application is indeed not buildable on FreeBSD,
sadly, so there is no way to solve this problem without modifying the code
to not require the use of epoll. 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.
