+To compile the sample application see :doc:`compiling`.

-
- .. code-block:: console
-
- export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
- cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/ipv4_multicast
-
-#. Set the target (a default target is used if not specified). 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:

- make

- The compiled application is written to the build subdirectory.
- To have the application written to a different location,
- the O=/path/to/build/directory option may be specified in the make command.
+The application is located in the ``ipv4_multicast`` sub-directory.
