+@chapter Building the Sample Application
+
+@section Unpack the sample application 
+
+Use the following command to unarchive the sample application:
+
+@example
+cd tools
+tar xzf ../arc/simple_app.tgz
+@end example
+
+@section Set the environment variable RTEMS_MAKEFILE_PATH 
+
+It must point to the appropriate directory containing RTEMS build for our
+target and board support package combination. 
+
+@example
+export RTEMS_MAKEFILE_PATH = \
+<INSTALLATION_POINT>/rtems/<BOARD_SUPPORT_PACKAGE>
+@end example
+
+Where:
+
+<INSTALLATION_POINT> and <BOARD_SUPPORT_PACKAGE> are those used in step 4.3
+
+@section Build the Sample Application
+
+Use the following command to start the build of the sample application: 
+
+@example
+cd tools/simple_app
+gmake
+@end example
+
+If no errors are detected during the sample application build, it is
+reasonable to assume that the build of the GNU C/C++ Cross Compiler Tools
+for RTEMS and the build of the RTEMS OS for the selected host and target
+combination was done properly. 
+
+@section Application executable 
+
+If the application build has taken place without error, the application
+executable is placed in the following directory: 
+
+@example
+tools/simple_app/o-<BOARD_SUPPORT_PACKAGE>/<filename>.exe
+@end example
+
