Using Gecko OS Make

The GSS IDE invokes GNU make to build Apps. Using make from the command line can provide additional options. This section is for users familiar with make and makefiles.

Run make from the App project directory.

Run make help to see documentation of targets and options.

Restrictions on Command Line Make

Due to GNU make limitations, the following characters cannot be used in a password from the command line target:

make login USER=<user> PASSWORD=<pass>

• % (percent character)
• $ ( dollar-sign character)
• # (hash or pound-sign)

The recommended work-around is to use either:

• GSS
• make login
  (i.e. don't provide un/pw on command line but instead launch login dialog)
• Update DMS password to a password without the disallowed characters
