No rather than an additional step, I think showing it as an alternative set
of instructions might work well. Something like:

"""
To build the DPDK libraries, drivers and test applications use:

meson build
ninja -C build

To include the examples as part of the build, the -Dexamples flag can be
passed to meson, with a comma-separated list of the desired examples, or
'all' to indicate all buildable examples. For example:

meson -Dexamples=all build
ninja -C build
