OK, I was able to build it this way. However, it seems that it still does not solve my problem where the application detects no ports available. I am building it outside the development kit using Make. It appears the same issue happens with the provided sample applications. If I compile the "skeleton" sample application with make, running it will error saying no ports available. If I compile it using meson (meson configure -Dexamples=skeleton) and then run it through ./<build_dir>/examples/dpdk-skeleton it works fine. How can I compile the applications outside of the development kit? The current documentation says this should still be possible using make as before.
