4 Compiling the Application
5 =========================
7 The ``testpmd`` application is compiled as part of the main compilation of the DPDK libraries and tools.
8 Refer to the DPDK Getting Started Guides for details.
9 The basic compilation steps are:
11 #. Set the required environmental variables and go to the source directory:
13 .. code-block:: console
15 export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
18 #. Set the compilation target. For example:
20 .. code-block:: console
22 export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
24 #. Build the application:
26 .. code-block:: console
28 make install T=$RTE_TARGET
30 The compiled application will be located at:
32 .. code-block:: console
34 $RTE_SDK/$RTE_TARGET/app/testpmd
