[dpdk-users] How do I enable netvsc with meson build?

[Dennis Montgomery <dmontgomery@juniper.net>]

Hello DPDK community,

I’ve mislaid my copy of “Building DPDK with Meson for Dummies” and can’t figure this out: how do I enable the drivers/net/netvsc pmd with meson?  I’m finding that it’s disabled due to a missing dependency, but the dependency it claims to be missing… seems to be there?

Specifically it’s complaining about the vmbus driver.  That’s included in the meson.log snippet attached below, under “Drivers Enabled”/bus.  I’m lost.

Thanks for your help,

Dennis Montgomery
