This topic explains how to make (i.e., build) Legato.

Make Legato on localhost

cd to your Legato directory.

Run make:

make localhost

These are basicLegatoHostDirs installed.

This will build a system update pack for the target, located under the build directory for your target (e.g., build/localhost/system.localhost.update).

Configure Shell

To set up your shell environment to use the Legato command-line tools, run the legs script (short for "legato shell") every time you open a new shell. You can find the legs script in the bin subdirectory of the Legato app framework directory (appears when the framework is built).

You need to set up your shell environment to use the Legato command-line tools.

bin/legs

You can run bin/legs every time you open a new shell:

Run

$ bin/legs

After running legs, you can run exit at any time to terminate legs and restore your shell's environment.

Warning: If you have two Legato framework versions installed on your PC, to switch versions you MUST exit out of legs and run the legs script again from the other version.

bin/configlegatoenv

You can also use configlegatoenv as alternative to bin/legs:

$ source bin/configlegatoenv

This doesn't spawn a new shell. Instead, it imports the Legato configuration within your current shell session, which allows you to use bash alternatives like zsh.

Make for Target

Run make to build the framework for the target:

$ make wp85

Replace wp85 with the target type ID you're building (e.g., wp750x, ar7, ar86 or raspi).

This will build a system update pack for the target, located under the build directory for your target (e.g., build/wp85/system.wp85.update).

See Update Target Software for details on how to install your system update pack onto your target device.
