Thanks for the clarification. I will update meson.build and Makefile in
examples.

devtools/test-meson-builds.sh tests[1] the the below apps,
"cmdline helloworld l2fwd l3fwd skeleton time"

What is your preference, Adding in all the examples or above selected ones?


[1]
# if pkg-config defines the necessary flags, test building some examples
if pkg-config --define-prefix libdpdk >/dev/null 2>&1; then
        export PKGCONF="pkg-config --define-prefix"
        for example in cmdline helloworld l2fwd l3fwd skeleton timer; do
                echo "## Building $example"
                $MAKE -C
$DESTDIR/usr/local/share/dpdk/examples/$example clean all
        done
fi
