  The libraries required for Netcope PMDs can be found in
https://www.netcope.com/en/company/community-support/dpdk-libsze2

These libraries are compatible with pkg-config, which is a better solution
than directly looking for libraries and includes.
These patches are using exclusively pkg-config with meson.

  net/nfb: fix dependency check
  net/szedata2: fix dependency check

+1 to this patch, unrelated to this patch I remember there was an issue with the
nfb & szedata2 dependencies, that their dependencies conflict with each other,
so it wasn't possible to enable both at the same time.

Jan, Rastislav,

Is it still the case, or is there any improvement there?

Thanks,
ferruh

They work with the same hardware, they are (crudely and rudely
speaking) just mutually incompatible versions of the same thing (both
provide configuration access and data transfer for Netcope NFB family
of FPGA cards).

Therefore, there is no motivation to install both of them, "szedata2
(libsze2)" is deprecated and we only want to keep the PMD for existing
users. If it becomes a burden, we will phase it out eventually.

Regards,
  Jan

Series applied to dpdk-next-net/master, thanks.
