+Compiling the DPDK Target from Source
+=====================================
+
+System Requirements
+-------------------
+
+The DPDK and its applications require the Clang-LLVM C compiler and linker.
+The Meson* Build system is used to prepare the sources
+for compilation with either of the Ninja or Visual Studio 2017 backends.
+
+\*Other names and brands may be claimed as the property of others.
+
+Install the Compiler
+--------------------
+
+Download and install the compiler from LLVM* website.
+
+Install the Build System
+------------------------
+
+Download and install the build system from Meson's website.
+
+Install the Backend
+-------------------
+
+If using Ninja, download and install the backend from Ninja's website.
+If using Visual Studio 2017, download and install the backend from Microsoft's website.
+
+Build the code
+--------------
+
+The build environment is setup to build the EAL and the helloworld example by
+default.
+
+Using the vs2017 backend
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Open a "Developer Command Prompt" and navigate to the DPDK source directory. If
+using the vs2017 backend, with a build directory named `build`, type the
+following commands.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    cd C:\Users\me\dpdk
+    meson build --backend=vs2017
+    cd build
+    msbuild DPDK.sln
+
+Alternatively, the DPDK.sln file can be compiled with a supported IDE.
+
+Using the ninja backend
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    cd C:\Users\me\dpdk
+    meson build
+    cd build
+    ninja
+
+Run the helloworld example
+==========================
+
+Navigate to the build directory and run `helloworld.exe`.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    cd C:\Users\me\dpdk\build
+    helloworld.exe
+    hello from core 1
+    hello from core 3
+    hello from core 0
+    hello from core 2

+Introduction
+============
+
+This document contains instructions for installing and configuring the Data
+Plane Development Kit (DPDK) software. The document describes how to compile
+and run a DPDK application in a Windows* OS application environment, without
+going deeply into detail.
+
+\*Other names and brands may be claimed as the property of others.
+
+Limitations
+===========
+
+DPDK for Windows is currently a work in progress. Not all DPDK source files
+compile. Support is being added in pieces so as to limit the overall scope
+of any individual patch series. The goal is to be able to run any DPDK
+application natively on Windows.
