You mean they must switch to meson and use DPDK discovery with pkg-config?
Do you see any blocker?

In the make build system, some libraries (like Mellanox drivers) must be
explicitly enabled by modifying the .config file before running make.
There should be a hook in the app build system to allow some tuning.
Anyway, as you mentioned above, better to switch to meson.
