[dpdk-dev] How to compile and run l2fwd/l3fwd on DPDK windows?

[William Tu <u9012063@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I'm able to follow the doc to run helloworld example
https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/windows_gsg/build_dpdk.html#build-the-code

I'm thinking about running l2fwd on my x710 card.
Is there any step-by-step document to follow?

So far I'm not able to compile the l3fwd and l2fwd.
meson fails for l3fwd:
c:\dpdk>meson --reconfigure -Dexamples=l3fwd build
The Meson build system
examples\meson.build:93:4: ERROR: Problem encountered: Missing
dependency "hash" for example "l3fwd"

ninja fails for l2fwd:
c:\dpdk>meson --reconfigure -Dexamples=l2fwd build
c:\dpdk\build>ninja -v
