 To compile all the sample applications
 --------------------------------------
 
-Set the path to DPDK source code if its not set:
+Go to DPDK build directory:
 
     .. code-block:: console
 
-        export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
+       cd dpdk/<build_dir>
 
-Go to DPDK source:
-
-    .. code-block:: console
-
-        cd $RTE_SDK
-
-Build DPDK:
+Enable examples compilation:
 
    .. code-block:: console
 
-        make defconfig
-        make
+      meson configure -Dexamples=all
 
-Build the sample applications:
+Build:
 
    .. code-block:: console
 
-       export RTE_TARGET=build
-       make -C examples
+      ninja
 
-For other possible ``RTE_TARGET`` values and additional information on
-compiling see
+For additional information on compiling see
 :ref:`Compiling DPDK on Linux <linux_gsg_compiling_dpdk>` or
 :ref:`Compiling DPDK on FreeBSD <building_from_source>`.
-Applications are output to: ``$RTE_SDK/examples/app-dir/build`` or
-``$RTE_SDK/examples/app-dir/$RTE_TARGET``.
+Applications are output to: ``dpdk/<build_dir>/examples``.
 
 
-In the example above the compiled application is written to the ``build`` subdirectory.
-To have the applications written to a different location,
-the ``O=/path/to/build/directory`` option may be specified in the make command.
+To compile a single application
+-------------------------------
 
-    .. code-block:: console
 
-       make O=/tmp
+Using meson
+~~~~~~~~~~~
 
-To build the applications for debugging use the ``DEBUG`` option.
-This option adds some extra flags, disables compiler optimizations and
-sets verbose output.
+Go to DPDK build directory:
 
     .. code-block:: console
 
-       make DEBUG=1
-
-
-To compile a single application
--------------------------------
+       cd dpdk/<build_dir>
 
-Set the path to DPDK source code:
+Enable example app compilation:
 
-    .. code-block:: console
+   .. code-block:: console
 
-        export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
+      meson configure -Dexamples=helloworld
 
-Go to DPDK source:
+Build:
 
-    .. code-block:: console
+   .. code-block:: console
 
-       cd $RTE_SDK
+      ninja
 
-Build DPDK:
 
-    .. code-block:: console
+Using Make
+~~~~~~~~~~
 
-        make defconfig
-        make
+Pkg-config is used when building an example app standalone using make, please
+see :ref:`building_app_using_installed_dpdk` for more information.
 
 Go to the sample application directory. Unless otherwise specified the sample
-applications are located in ``$RTE_SDK/examples/``.
-
+applications are located in ``dpdk/examples/``.
 
 Build the application:
 
     .. code-block:: console
 
-        export RTE_TARGET=build
         make
 
-To cross compile the sample application(s)
-------------------------------------------
-
-For cross compiling the sample application(s), please append 'CROSS=$(CROSS_COMPILER_PREFIX)' to the 'make' command.
-In example of AARCH64 cross compiling:
+To build the application for debugging use the ``DEBUG`` option.
+This option adds some extra flags, disables compiler optimizations and
+sets verbose output.
 
     .. code-block:: console
 
-        export RTE_TARGET=build
-        export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
-        make -C examples CROSS=aarch64-linux-gnu-
-               or
-        make CROSS=aarch64-linux-gnu-
+       make DEBUG=1
