Compiling the Application

+To compile the sample application see :doc:`compiling`.
-#. Go to the sample application directory:
-
- .. code-block:: console
-
- export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
- cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/l3fwd
-
-#. 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:
-
- .. code-block:: console
-
- make
+The application is located in the ``l3fwd`` sub-directory.
