Addressing ninja build error message

[vivekanandi <v.o.s.openbook@gmail.com>]

Hello,
My name is Vivek. I'm a Computer Science major from Canada.

I was trying to install DPDK but encountered this error. I am familiar with
BPF programming so tried to look into the compat.h file but the
build/af_xdp directory was empty after I got the error message. I've
attached a txt file that shows the terminal output

I ran the following scripts:
meson build
ninja -C build

Could you please direct me to the right direction for building DPDK
properly? I am on Linux Mint. Are there dependencies that I should've
instaslled?

Best Regards,
V
