-To compile the application export the path to the DPDK source tree and go to
-the example directory:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
-
-    cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/skeleton
-
-Set the target, for example:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
-
-See the *DPDK Getting Started* Guide for possible ``RTE_TARGET`` values.
-
-Build the application as follows:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    make
