Generally, most unit tests in the test app will do what you require. 
Additionally, if you're using make build system, you can run "make test" 
and it'll run an autotest script. Some tests may fail for various 
reasons (additional setup requirements for KNI tests, multiprocess 
issues affecting EAL flags and multiprocess autotests...), but generally 
that command can be used to "verify the build".

That said, it is by no means an exhaustive test, because most of DPDK 
functionality of interest will require setting up traffic forwarding - 
unit tests do very limited testing of that for obvious reasons.
