BuildExecutable

Builds an executable that doesn't require any julia source code. The user needs to provide a julia script that contains a function main(), taking no argument, which will be run when executing the produced executable. An executable can be produced by using the build_executable function

using BuildExecutable build_executable(exename, script, targetdir, "native")

Note on packages:

Even if the script contains using statements, exported functions will not be available in main(). Full qualification of names is required. It's suggested to replace using statements with import statements to produce a consistent result between running main() in the REPL and running the executable.

If packages with binary dependencies is used the produced executable will not function properly.

Note on portability
