 Compiling the Application
 -------------------------
 
-Compile the application as follows:

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