| This directory contains the next generation of EDK II build tools and template files.
|
| Templates are located in the Conf directory, while the tools executables for
|
| Microsoft Windows 32-bit Operating Systems are located in the Bin\Win32 directory, other
|
| directory contatins tools source.
|
|
|
| 1. Build step to generate the binary tools.
|
|
|
| === Windows/Visual Studio Notes ===
|
|
|
| To build the BaseTools, you should run the standard vsvars32.bat script |
| from your preferred Visual Studio installation or you can run get_vsvars.bat |
| to use latest automatically detected version. |
|
|
| In addition to this, you should set the following environment variables:
|
|
|
| * EDK_TOOLS_PATH - Path to the BaseTools sub directory under the edk2 tree
|
| * BASE_TOOLS_PATH - The directory where the BaseTools source is located.
|
| (It is the same directory where this README.txt is located.)
|
| * PYTHON_FREEZER_PATH - Path to where the python freezer tool is installed
|
|
|
| After this, you can run the toolsetup.bat file, which is in the same
|
| directory as this file. It should setup the remainder of the environment,
|
| and build the tools if necessary.
|
|
|
| Please also refer to the 'BuildNotes.txt' file for more information on
|
| building under Windows.
|
|
|
| === Unix-like operating systems ===
|
|
|
| To build on Unix-like operating systems, you only need to type 'make' in
|
| the base directory of the project.
|
|
|
| === Ubuntu Notes ===
|
|
|
| On Ubuntu, the following command should install all the necessary build
|
| packages to build all the C BaseTools:
|
|
|
| sudo apt-get install build-essential uuid-dev
|
|
|
| === Python sqlite3 module ===
|
| On Windows, the cx_freeze will not copy the sqlite3.dll to the frozen
|
| binary directory (the same directory as build.exe and GenFds.exe).
|
| Please copy it manually from <PythonHome>\DLLs.
|
|
|
| The Python distributed with most recent Linux will have sqlite3 module
|
| built in. If not, please install sqlit3 package separately.
