 Driver Compilation
 ------------------
 
-To compile a PMD for a platform, run make with appropriate target as shown below.
-Use "make" command in Linux and "gmake" in FreeBSD. This will also build testpmd.
+To compile a PMD for a platform, build DPDK
+as described in the "Getting Started Guide" for your platform.
+This will also build testpmd.
 
-To check available targets:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   cd <DPDK-source-directory>
-   make showconfigs
