Quick Start\r
\r
In a command window, change to the top-level directory of the EDK II source.\r
\r
-First, set up your workspace\r
+First, set up your workspace. If you have had a setup, please make sure that\r
+you don't have newer *.template in WORKSPACE\BaseTools\Conf. Otherwise remove\r
+*.txt files in WORKSPACE\Conf in advance.\r
c:\MyWork\edk2\> edksetup newbuild\r
\r
Second, go to the module directory (For example, MdeModulePkg\Application\HelloWorld),\r
c:\MyWork\edk2\> cd MdePkg\Library\BaseLib\r
c:\MyWork\edk2\> build\r
\r
+If you want build a platform, ACTIVE_PLATFORM must be set to your desired platform dsc file,\r
+go to directory which must be not a module's directory, and run "build" command.\r

+Tools in Python\r
+---------------\r
+\r
+* Run buld tool written in Python from source\r
+ The build tool written in Python can be executed from its source directly as long as you\r
+have the Python interpreter (version 2.5) installed. The source of Python code is locating at\r
+\r
+ https://buildtools.tianocore.org/svn/buildtools/trunk/BaseTools/Source/Python\r
+\r
+ where:\r
+\r
+ MyBuild.py - The temporary "build" tool from which the "build.exe" is coming\r
+ AutoGen.py - Generate AutoGen.c/.h and makefile only\r
+\r
+ "MyBuild.py" steps:\r
+ 1. Run "edksetup.bat newbuild"\r
+ 2. Set ACTIVE_PLATFORM in WORKSPACE\Conf\r
+ 3. Go to platform or module directory\r
+ 4. Run "<python_interpreter.exe> <python_source_dir>\MyBuild.py" or "<python_source_dir>\MyBuild.py"\r
+ directly.\r
+\r
+ "AutoGen.py" steps:\r
+ 1. Run "edksetup.bat newbuild"\r
+ 2. Set ACTIVE_PLATFORM in WORKSPACE\Conf\r
+ 4. Run "<python_interpreter.exe> <python_source_dir>\AutoGen.py" or "<python_source_dir>\AutoGen.py"\r
+\r
+* Convert Python source to exe file\r
+ The tools written in Python can be coverted into executable program which can be executed\r
+without Python interpreter. One of the convertion tools is called cx_Freeze at \r
+\r
+ http://sourceforge.net/projects/cx-freeze/\r
+\r
+ Suppose you have installed cx_Freeze at c:\cx_Freeze-3.0.3. Use following command line to convert MyBuild.py\r
+\r
+ c:\cx_Freeze-3.0.3\FreezePython.exe --include-modules=encodings.cp437,encodings.gbk,encodings.utf_16,encodings.utf_8 --install-dir=.\mybuild MyBuild.py\r
+\r
+ The generated .exe files are put in "mybuild" subdirectory.\r
