- cd $RTE_SDK
-
-#. Set the compilation target. For example:
-
- .. code-block:: console
-
- export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
-
-#. Build the application:
-
- .. code-block:: console
-
- make install T=$RTE_TARGET
-
- The compiled application will be located at:
-
- .. code-block:: console
-
- $RTE_SDK/$RTE_TARGET/app/testpmd
