tailqs issue

[Lombardo, Ed]

Hi Stephen,
I am building the dpdk-simple_mp example in meson/ninja.

Our application is built in our custom build environment, and we are not using DPDK shared libraries, but are linking to DPDK static libs.

 Thanks,
Ed

Primary and secondary are tightly coupled. They have to be built from same base, so true 3rd party support would be very difficult.

How are you building? Using meson and DPDK process or something custom?
I seem to remember there was a issue long ago with shared libraries and build flags where initializers would not get run unless a flag was passed during the shared library link step.
