Compiling the Application
=========================
The testpmd application is compiled as part of the main compilation of the DPDK libraries and tools.
Refer to the DPDK Getting Started Guide for details.
The basic compilation steps are:
#. Set the required environmental variables and go to the source directory:
.. code-block:: console
export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
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/build/app/testpmd
