mkexe

Make Executable: run mkexe to create an executable program.

mkexe is normally not needed. The mkapp or mksys should be used to build an entire app or system of interacting apps to deploy to a target device.

mkexe is only needed to build an executable program to copy to a target device and run outside of any app. This sometimes comes in handy to build:

  • command-line tools that can be run by the root user through ssh or
  • programs executed by other on-target programs after the Legato framework has started (e.g., scripts to run when a DHCP client is granted or loses a DHCP lease).

To display usage, run

mkexe --help
