Please, could you explain why is it impossible in your case? The standard usage is: make T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc install make T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc examples O=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/examples If you don't want to use install mode, you can build like this: make config T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc make make -C examples RTE_SDK=$(pwd) RTE_TARGET=build O=$(readlink -m build/examples) > --- a/mk/rte.extvars.mk > +++ b/mk/rte.extvars.mk > -RTE_SDK_BIN := $(RTE_SDK)/$(RTE_TARGET) > +RTE_SDK_BIN ?= $(RTE_SDK)/$(RTE_TARGET) I don't understand why this change could help. You can even use this: make -C examples RTE_SDK=$(pwd) RTE_SDK_BIN=$(pwd)/build O=$(readlink -m build/examples) without the patch because command line override variables. Note that O= is optional. -- Thomas
