16 a) Set the PYTHON_FREEZER_PATH to the cx_Freeze installation directory
17 b) Go to the <buildtools_project>/BaseTools and run "toolsetup" script
20 a) make -C <buildtools_project>/BaseTools
21 b) Look over https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/Getting%20Started%20with%20EDK%20II
22 for a helpful step-by-step guide for building 'Hello World' on
23 various operating systems with edk2.
25 Supported build targets (toolsetup)
26 -----------------------------------
28 build(or none) - Incremental Build of all C based tools. This is the default target
29 rebuild - Clean all generated files and directories during build, and rebuild all tools
31 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
34 * Convert Python source to exe file
36 The tools written in Python can be converted into executable program which can
37 be executed without installing a Python interpreter. (Generally it is easier
38 to run the scripts from their source on operating systems other than Windows.)
40 For Windows and Linux, the conversion tool package is called cx_Freeze, its
43 http://sourceforge.net/projects/cx-freeze/
45 If you have installed cx_Freeze at c:\cx_Freeze-3.0.3. Use following command
46 lines to convert MyBuild.py to MyBuild.exe (note this is an example, there is
47 no MyBuild Python project in the BaseTools\Python tree.
49 set PYTHONPATH=<BaseToolsDirPath>\Source\Python
50 c:\cx_Freeze-3.0.3\FreezePython.exe --include-modules=encodings.cp437,encodings.gbk,encodings.utf_16,encodings.utf_16_le,encodings.utf_8 --install-dir=.\mybuild MyBuild.py
52 The generated .exe (and .dll) files are put in "mybuild" subdirectory.
54 The following is a real example with the BuildTools/trunk/BaseTools project
55 installed in: C:\Work\BaseTools
58 C:\Work\BaseTools\Source\Python> set PYTHONPATH=C:\Work\BaseTools\Source\Python
59 C:\Work\BaseTools\Source\Python> c:\cx_Freeze-3.0.3\FreezePython.exe --include-modules=encodings.cp437,encodings.gbk,encodings.utf_16,encodings.utf_16_le,encodings.utf_8 --install-dir=C:\Work\BaseTools\Bin\Win32 build\build.py
62 * Execute tools written in Python without conversion
66 The edk2/edksetup.sh script will setup everything which is needed to
67 run the scripts from their source.
71 The tools written in Python can be executed directly from its source directory
72 as long as the Python interpreter (Python 2.5) has been installed. Before the execution,
73 please make sure the environment variable PYTHONPATH is set to
75 <buildtools_project>/BaseTools/Source/Python
77 There're five tools written in Python. The entrance file of each tool is listed
80 build <buildtools_project>/BaseTools/Source/Python/build/build.py
