Meson 0.57 was an unstable version and is now outdated.
The referenced bug in Meson 0.58 is fixed in stable releases.
Recommend the first version containing the fix: 1.5.2.
Building DPDK applications that run on 32-bit Windows is
currently not supported. However, some Visual Studio environments
default to producing 32-bit binaries.
Recommend instructing the developer prompt to produce 64-bit binaries
when that is the case.
