Build the Target NFS Root

The root makefile target lets you copy files from components into the build_dir/root directory.

For example, as the EXAMPLES component contains binary files that the target machine must see, use the make root command to copy the binary files of the EXAMPLES component into the build_dir/root directory as follows:

host% make root 

The build_dir/root directory now contains the binary files of the EXAMPLES component. You can run this component on a target machine where build_dir/root can be NFS mounted.
