EdkFatBinPkg - Binary DXE drivers for the Fat 32 file system\r
EdkShellBinPkg - Binary Shell applications and commands\r
EdkNt32Pkg - NT32 Emulation platform reference\r
+ EdkUnixPkg - Posix/Unix Emulation platform reference (Currently this\r
+ builds only on ia32 Linux, but is meant to be portable.)\r
\r
Note: MDE and MDK that appear in other documentation refer to the MdePkg and\r
Tools packages, respectively. While, these two packages are the minimum \r
clean - This target removes object files generated by commands.\r
cleanall - This target removes all generated files and directories.\r
\r
+Use the ANT option, -emacs, to remove the [cc] characters when an error occurs\r
+to provide a method for the Visual Studio IDE to open a file by double\r
+clicking the mouse on the file. Add -emacs to the end of the build command.\r

A Word on the GCC Tool Chain\r
----------------------------\r
compile the custom gcc tool chain, you need the following tools on your host\r
computer: bash, gcc, gmake, curl (or wget).\r
\r
-Only the MdePkg and EdkModulePkg are currently supported by gcc builds. Other\r
-builds, such as the EdkNt32Pkg, will not compile with gcc. By default, the edk2\r
-will try to build the NT32.fpd, which is not supported by gcc. So, you need to\r
-change the Tools/Conf/target.txt.\r

The cross-compile build script has been tested on Cygwin, OS X and Linux. You\r
should expect to hack on these scripts to make them work on your system. You\r
PE32+ image. The EFIAPI calling convention is very similar to the Microsoft x64 \r
calling convention.\r
\r
+We have added prelinary support for the MinGW64 Tool chain. This gcc tool\r
+chain is ported to follow the Microsft X64 ABI, and therefore is compatible\r
+with the EFI specification.\r
+\r
On Itanium?Processors the gcc compiler does not support generating a PE32+ image.\r

+A Word on EdkUnixPkg -- The Unix simulator\r
+----------------------------------------\r
+\r
+A unix port of the Nt32 simulator has been added to the project. It currently\r
+builds and runs on 32 bit Linux, but should be portable to other Unix\r
+variants. In order to build it, you should use the ELFGCC tool chain defintion\r
+in tools_def.txt, which is set in target.txt. These are two settings to make\r
+in Tools/Conf/target.txt:\r
+\r
+ACTIVE_PLATFORM = EdkUnixPkg/Unix.fpd\r
+TOOL_CHAIN_TAG = ELFGCC\r
+\r
+Once that is setup, type build, and then you will end up with the simulator in\r
+Build/Unix/DEBUG_ELFGCC/IA32/SecMain.exe. \r
+\r
+In order to use the gdb debugger with the simulator, you may need to load the\r
+correct symbol file for the various modules that are loaded. For example,\r
+\r
+add-symbol-file EdkModulePkg/Bus/Pci/PciBus/Dxe/PciBus/DEBUG/./PciBus.dll\r
+0x45dc6000\r
+\r
+You can see the names of the symbol files (they are in ELF format even though\r
+the extension is .dll) printed on the screen as the simulator comes up.\r
