DPDK CI also has Meson version pinned to 0.52, see

I find it handy to switch Meson versions via pip3.



Err, we decided to pin to 0.47.1 as it is the documented minimal
supported version.

So the CI is stuck to the 0.47.1 version, not 0.52.
Do you need something from a newer meson for Windows support? That
would have to be documented.



My bad, can't tell why I decided that 0.52 was pinned. I verified building
with Meson 0.47.1, both cross and native, and it works well.

Apologies to Narcisa for misguidance.


No worries, I also cross-compiled using both 0.47.1 and 0.52.0. I was able to generate the helloworld executable and ran it successfully. Thanks!

I did have to apply your patch "eal/windows: refine public interface" before applying the "MinGW-w64 support" patch set, to avoid the errors caused by including "Windows.h" in rte_os.h. So, I guess this patch needs to come first and then the patchset for mingw can be applied.
