For example, For Linux, the library must be able to compile + with GCC and/or clang. + +- **Documentation**: Must have adequate documentation for the steps to build it. + +- **Meson build integration**: The library must have standard method like ``pkg-config`` + for seamless integration with DPDK's build environment. + +- **Code readability**: When the depended library is optional, use stubs to reduce the ``ifdef`` + clutter to enable better code readability. -- 2.42.0
