g++ -static -o <toolname> <toolname>.cpp

To cross-compile for Windows (from Linux), use:

Usage:

Run the converter by specifying the input asset file:

$ ./<toolname> <input_file> [OPTIONS]

Common options:
  -i, --input <input_file>          Specify the input file path and name.
  -o, --output <output_file>        Specify the output file path and name.
