Build FreeRTOS alone without any application

Hi,
I am planning to start some projects with FreeRTOS. I noticed that, all the FreeRTOS build procedure description revolves around how to build the FreeRTOS + Application. I was wondering, if it’s possible to build the FreeRTOS alone without any application being merged with it. If it’s possible, How can it be done? I am just starting with FreeRTOS, if you could point me in the right direction that will be really helpful.
Regards,
Lishoy M.L

I’m not certain what you expect out of a ‘FreeRTOS only’ build. Since FreeRTOS does provide a ‘main’ function, it isn’t complete by itself. At a minimum something would have to provide a main that starts the scheduler, at which point all that happens is the idle task just runs continously.
