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

[Dennis Montgomery]

It did get resolved, by migrating the rest of the way to 20.11.  I was on 20.08 at the time (sorry, I missed that key detail in my original post) and was most of the way to 20.11 in another branch – and found that netvsc was enabled/working there so I gave up on the 20.08 effort.

Thanks for following up.

Did this get resolved? I don't see this with 20.11.
Do you have the correct version of meson?
