Error while running make command [Packet Generator in DPDK]

I am trying to install packet generator in my system. I have downloaded packet generator from DPDK.org. I follow the instructions mentioned in the following link.

When I run the make command I get the below error:

  compilation terminated.

Upgrading the version of DPDK solves this issue. I used a version of 17.08 and later on upgraded it to 17.11

Looks like the RTE_TARGET is set incorrectly or DPDK is not compiled. First we set:

export RTE_SDK=<DPDKInstallDir>
export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc

Then we compile DPDK and then Pktgen.
