This on RHEL 7.5 doesn't work, since old versions of sphinx (I have
v1.1.3) need all options before the paths. I tried to move
"'-d', meson.current_build_dir() + '/.doctrees'" before "'@INPUT@'" and
it worked.

This on RHEL 7.5 doesn't work. I had to append custom.css to DEST
($MESON_INSTALL_DESTDIR_PREFIX/share/doc/dpdk/guides/_static/css/custom.css)
to make it work.
