mkcomp

Make Component: run mkcomp to pre-build a component library (.so) file.

mkcomp is normally not needed when building through the command line.

When using the command line, an entire app or system of interacting apps can be built using mkapp or mksys. Those tools also build the component libraries as needed.

mkcomp is primarily a workaround to support integration with some legacy programs that implement their own main() function. In such cases, mkcomp can be used to build component libraries for use by the legacy program.

To display usage, run

mkcomp --help
