Compiling the Application
-------------------------
-To compile the application, export the path to the DPDK source tree and edit
-the ``config/common_linuxapp`` configuration file to enable IEEE1588:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
- export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
-
- # Edit common_linuxapp and set the following options:
- CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_IEEE1588=y
-
-Set the target, for example:
+To compile the sample application see :doc:`compiling`.
-.. 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 as follows:
-
-.. code-block:: console
+The application is located in the ``ptpclient`` sub-directory.
- # Recompile DPDK.
- make install T=$RTE_TARGET
+.. note::
+ To compile the application edit the ``config/common_linuxapp`` configuration file to enable IEEE1588
+ and then recompile DPDK:
- # Compile the application.
- cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/ptpclient
- make
+ .. code-block:: console
+ CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_IEEE1588=y
