Convert EXEC to APP

Can you convert EXEC to APP?
QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert EXEC to APP?
No - not a direct conversion.

A macOS .app is a bundle wrapping a Mach-O executable. A Linux ELF .exec can't be packaged into a working .app - it isn't macOS code. Only a Mach-O binary can go into a .app, and that means building for macOS.
