Hi,

This method is deprecated.
See below for updating the commands.

No need to export RTE_TARGET at this point.
This target is just needed for "make config".

The new standard method is:

	make config T=$RTE_TARGET
	make

The config can be tuned between these two commands.
The command "make install" is not required to build examples.

You can use this command with the new method:

	export RTE_TARGET=build
	make -C examples

Note that the target for examples is the DPDK build directory.
It can be different if O= was used when configuring/compiling DPDK.
