-----------

Usage:
^^^^^^
.. code-block:: console
newt build <target-name> [target_name ...] [flags]
Global Flags:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. code-block:: console
-h, --help Help for newt commands
-j, --jobs int Number of concurrent build jobs (default 8)
-l, --loglevel string Log level (default "WARN")
-o, --outfile string Filename to tee output to
-q, --quiet Be quiet; only display error output
-s, --silent Be silent; don't output anything
-v, --verbose Enable verbose output when executing commands
Description
^^^^^^^^^^^
Compiles, links, and builds an ELF binary for the target named <target-name>. It builds an ELF file for the application specified by the ``app`` variable for the ``target-name`` target. The image can be loaded and run on the hardware specified by the ``bsp`` variable for the target. The command creates the 'bin/' directory under the project's base directory (that the ``newt new`` command created) and stores the executable in the 'bin/targets/<target-name>/app/apps/<app-name>' directory. A ``manifest.json`` build manifest file is also generated in the same directory. This build manifest contains information such as build time, version, image name, a hash to identify the image, packages actually used to create the build, and the target for which the image is built.
You can specify a list of target names, separated by a space, to build multiple targets.

| Usage | Explanation |
+====================================+================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================+
| ``newt build my_blinky_sim`` | Builds an executable for the ``my_blinky_sim`` target. For example, if the ``my_blinky_sim`` target has ``app`` set to ``apps/blinky``, you will find the generated .elf, .a, and .lst files in the 'bin/targets/my\_blinky\_sim/app/apps/blinky' directory. |

| ``newt build my_blinky_sim myble`` | Builds the images for the applications defined by the ``my_blinky_sim`` and ``myble`` targets. |
