what is the difference between compiling and building?..

Answer / achal ubbott

Build includes 2 things viz. Compile and then Linking.
Linker tool of the tool chain uses some linker script file
(.ld extension or some other) to link all the object files
from your code and that from library.
The compiler gives you object files from your source
files.Most of times it has .o extension.
