Compiling Executables

Since the compile functionality is relatively new, the --unstable flag has to be set in order for the command to work.

deno compile [--output <OUT>] <SRC> will compile the script into a self-contained executable.

`

> deno compile --unstable https://deno.land/std/examples/welcome.ts

`

If you omit the OUT parameter, the name of the executable file will be inferred.

Flags

As with deno install, the runtime flags used to execute the script must be specified at compilation time. This includes permission flags.

`

> deno compile --unstable --allow-read --allow-net https://deno.land/std/http/file_server.ts

`

Script arguments can be partially embedded.

`

> deno compile --unstable --allow-read --allow-net https://deno.land/std/http/file_server.ts -p 8080> ./file_server --help

`

Cross Compilation

Cross compiling binaries for different platforms is not currently possible.
