Hi All,
We want to use specific downloaded openssl while compiling the DPDKv21.11.
We don’t want to use the openssl installed in the build machine.

We tried adding -Dc_args and -Dc_link_args to meson configure to specify the director of external openssl but build still seems to be linking to installed verson of the open ssl.

meson setup build
meson configure -Dc_args="-I /thirdparty/gobuild/compcache/cayman_openssl/ob-20569149/linux64/lin64+gcc6/include" -Dc_link_args="-L thirdparty/gobuild/compcache/cayman_openssl/ob-20569149/linux64/lin64+gcc6/lib64/"
ninja -C build

Please suggest how do we achieve this in meson/ninja?
