Solution
In general, to build a LabVIEW executable or application, you need the LabVIEW Application Builder add-on.
Note: The LabVIEW Application Builder add-on can be purchased and installed individually to use with LabVIEW Base or Full Editions. This add-on is included in the LabVIEW Professional Edition.
The LabVIEW Application Builder add-on is available for download and install only on Windows Operating System.
This means, that to build an application or executable on a Linux Operating System you must install LabVIEW Professional Edition.
Your VI from a Windows system can be moved to the Linux version of LabVIEW and opened to build it in the new system.
Certain proprietary Windows functions or drivers that can be called by LabVIEW will not move over due to not being compatible with the Linux system. For more information about porting your VI, please visit the Porting VIs among Platforms page.
