CROSS compiling DPDK from source

I am trying to cross compile(for ARM64) DPDK from source as instructed here: https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/linux_gsg/cross_build_dpdk_for_arm64.html

But when I run make, I see this:

$ make config T=arm64_armv8_linux_gcc
make: Nothing to be done for 'config'.

I have the checkout the main branch, and wondering if compiling through "Makefile" is not supported any more and MESON build system has replaced it ?

I am on top commit of master branch:

https://github.com/DPDK/dpdk/commit/9d620630ea30386d7fc2ff192656a9051b6dc6b5

DPDK version: 21.02.0-rc0

Toolchain version is:

aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc --version

aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc (Linaro GCC 7.3-2018.05) 7.3.1 20180425 [linaro-   7.3-2018.05 revision d29120a424ecfbc167ef90065c0eeb7f91977701]

DPDK has removed the support for Makefile from 20.11. One has to rely on meson-ninja for the same.

Please use the below as guide for your cross build

meson arm64-build --cross-file config/arm/arm64_armv8_linux_gcc
ninja -C arm64-build

DPDK LTS 19.11.6 still uses Makefile.
