Notes On Required Tools (With examples for Windows, OS X, and Linux*)\r
--------------------------------------------------------------------\r
Software Installation Order:\r
  After installing the compiler tools and your Subversion client, install the\r
  following required tools in this order:\r
    1. Java JDK\r
    2. Apache-Ant\r
    3. ant-contrib\r
    4. xmlbeans\r
    5. saxon8\r
\r
Java Development Kit:\r
\r
   The Java Environment Variable must be set before attempting to build.\r
       For Sun JDK (see note below?:\r
              set JAVA_HOME=c:\Java\jdk1.5.0_06  (Windows example)\r
              export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/Home/ (OS X example)\r
              export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun/ (Linux example)\r
       For Bea Systems:\r
              set JAVA_HOME=c:\Java\jrockit-R26.0.0-jdk1.5.0_04\r
\r
   When using the Sun JDK5.0:\r
    During installation, you should specify the install directory as C:\Java\r
    instead of C:\Program Files\(or some other drive letter.)  While installing\r
    to this non-standard location is not required, in practice, it seems to work\r
    more reliably.\r
    For the JDK, the install path is C:\Java\jdk1.5.0_06\r
    For the JRE, the install path is C:\Java\jre1.5.0_06\r
    Alternatively, you can specify C:\sunjavajdk and C:\sunjavajre.\r
\r
    NOTE: You cannot combine the location for the JDK and the JRE, because the\r
    JRE install removes most of the binaries and libraries installed by the JDK\r
    install.\r
\r
Java Tools:\r
    The Apache-ANT requires the ANT_HOME environment variable to be set before\r
    attempting to build:\r
         set ANT_HOME=c:\<full path to where ant was installed>\r
          export ANT_HOME=~/ExternalTools/apache-ant (OS X and Linux example)\r
\r
    The ant-contrib.jar file should be installed in the %ANT_HOME%\lib\r
    directory.\r
\r
    XMLBeans, requires the XMLBEANS_HOME environment variable to be set\r
    before attempting to build:\r
         set XMLBEANS_HOME=C:\<full path to where xmlbeans was installed>\r
          export XMLBEANS_HOME=~/ExternalTools/xmlbeans (OS X and Linux example)\r
\r
    Copy the saxon8.jar file to the %XMLBEANS_HOME%\lib directory.\r
\r
   The Ant and XMLBean tools must be in the path.\r
     MS system example:\r
        set PATH=%PATH%;%ANT_HOME%\bin;%XMLBEANS_HOME%\bin\r
     Linux/OS X bash shell example:\r
        export PATH=$PATH:${ANT_HOME}/bin:${XMLBEANS_HOME}/bin\r
\r
--------------------\r
A Word on Apache-ANT\r
--------------------\r
The Apache-ANT program is a build tool that uses XML-based project files.\r
Similar to Makefiles, these project files may contain multiple targets.  Most\r
build.xml files in EDK II are auto-generated; any edits performed on the\r
build.xml files will be overwritten by the next build.\r
\r
Pre-defined targets in the build.xml file include:\r
    all      - This target builds binaries for defined architectures.\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
----------------------------\r
A Word on the GCC Tool Chain\r
----------------------------\r
\r
EDK II will not compile with a standard Linux gcc tool chain. While Linux\r
distributions are usually based on ELF, EDK II requires a version of gcc that\r
is configured to produce PE-COFF images. You will find a script in <Root of\r
EDK2 tree>/Tools/gcc/tianoCross-gcc-4.1 that will download, configure, compile,\r
and install a gcc 4.1 cross-compile tool chain for EDK II development. This\r
custom tool chain supports the IA-32 architecture. It can be built and run on\r
Cygwin, Linux, and many other POSIX-compliant host operating environments. To\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 OldMdePkg, EdkModulePkg and EdkUnixPkg are currently supported by gcc\r
builds. Other builds, such as the EdkNt32Pkg, will not compile with gcc. By\r
default, the edk2 will try to build the NT32.fpd, which is not supported by\r
gcc. So, you need to change the Tools/Conf/target.txt.\r
\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
may need to install additional tools on your system to make the scripts work.\r
\r
You will need\r
\r
  A recent version (3.0 or later should be fine) of gcc that is able to produce\r
    executables for the machine that you want to run this compiler on (the host\r
    machine).\r
  wget or curl (which enables the download of the gcc compiler source code)\r
  tar\r
  bzip\r
  gzip\r
  bash\r
  and possibly others\r
\r
CYGWIN Notes\r
\r
You should setup cygwin to use binmode on all mounts. When you initially\r
install cygwin it gives you the choice of Unix file mode (recommended) or DOS\r
file mode. Unix mode will cause all the cygwin directories to be mounted in\r
binmode, while DOS will mount the dirs in textmode. Here is an example of a\r
cygwin install where the dirs are (properly) mounted in binmode.\r
To view mount information, type:\r
    mount\r
\r
C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type user (binmode)\r
C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type user (binmode)\r
c:\workspace on /workspace type system (binmode)\r
C:\cygwin on / type user (binmode)\r
\r
If you use textmode, it is likely that the build will fail in a way that is\r
hard to debug.  Textmode is required to retain or add the DOS ^M characters\r
in DOS batch files during file editing sessions.\r
\r
You can switch from textmode to binmode for compilation by executing the\r
following:\r
    mount -b --change-cygdrive-prefix cygdrive\r
\r
Cygwin is pretty slow, so it is not recommended for large builds.\r
\r
\r
\r
\r
\r
The platform to be built is identified by the Tools/Conf/target.txt file:\r
\r
#\r
#  PROPERTY              Type       Use         Description\r
#  ----------------      --------   --------    -----------------------------------------------------------\r
#  ACTIVE_PLATFORM       Filename   Recommended Specify the WORKSPACE relative Path and Filename\r
#                                               of the platform FPD file that will be used for the build\r
#                                               This line is required if and only if the current working\r
#                                               directory does not contain one or more FPD files.\r
\r
ACTIVE_PLATFORM       =\r
\r
You can leave it black, as above, or set it to any .fpd file in the workspace.\r
If you leave it blank, then you just cd to the dir that contains the .fpd that\r
you would like to build (OldMdePkg/ or EdkModulePkg/) and then type build.\r
\r
----------------------------\r
A Word on compiling on Linux\r
----------------------------\r
\r
In order to compile on Linux, you will need to have the e2fsprogs-devel package\r
installed.  Check your distribution for the rpm, deb or other package format.\r
This package contains the uuid library and header that are used by some of the\r
host tools.\r
\r
If you are running on x86_64 Linux, then you should install a 64 bit version of\r
the Java JDK. The version that was used was jdk-1_5_0_07-linux-amd64-rpm.bin.\r
It may be downloaded from sun.com.\r
\r
-----------------------------------------\r
A Word on compiling under Cygwin with gcc\r
-----------------------------------------\r
\r
Cygwin is a POSIX style operating environment for Windows. It is possible to\r
compile the EDK 2 using gcc and cygwin. Compiling under cygwin is slow, because\r
the underlying file accesses are slow in cygwin. For this reason, we do not\r
encourage the use of cygwin. A true unix system will be a superior choice for\r
those wishing to compile with gcc.\r
\r
Make sure that you select the e2fsprogs development package when you install\r
cygwin. It is necessary for the GenFvImage tool.\r
\r
----------------------------------------\r
A Word on gcc for Processor Architectures\r
----------------------------------------\r
\r
Currently gcc support is limited to IA-32 builds, generating IA-32 PE32 images.\r
\r
The X64 bit (Intel 64, etc.) support under the gcc compiler does not support the EFIAPI\r
calling convention (as defined in the UEFI 2.0 specification Chapter 2), so it is not\r
possible to build a working EFI image for an X64 environment.  Since the x64 gcc does\r
not support the EFIAPI calling convention the x64 tools do not support generating a\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
\r
----------------------------------------\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
\r
-----------------------\r
Notes on Documentation\r
-----------------------\r
The documents are being managed by the Subversion Source Control on\r
Tianocore.org.  The document repository is "docs" and must be checked out\r
separately from the EDK II source tree. Refer to the checkout procedures on\r
the Tianocore.org Web site for EDK II.\r
\r
The URL of the document repository is:\r
  https://edk2.tianocore.org/svn/edk2/trunk/docs\r
\r
\r
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------\r
Quick Start\r
-----------\r
(assumes Microsoft Tools and OS environment, for GCC Tools or Linux, see\r
"Detailed Starting Instructions" below)\r
\r
Follow the instructions at https://edk2.tianocore.org/servlets/ProjectSource to\r
check out the entire EDK II source tree.\r
\r
In a command window, change to the top-level directory of the EDK II source.\r
\r
To test your tool chain setup and to build the supplied tools, execute:\r
    c:\MyWork\edk2\> edksetup ForceRebuild\r
\r
(The edksetup script is referred to as the setup command throughout the\r
rest of this document.)\r
      NOTE: You should run the setup command at the start of every session.\r
            This configures the environment to include the TianoTools and the\r
            Java applications and libraries.\r
\r
You will need to set the WORKSPACE environment variable, or run the edksetup\r
script (without any arguments), any time you want to build.\r
\r
  Set the WORKSPACE environment variable, e.g.:\r
\r
    c:\> set WORKSPACE=C:\MyWork\edk2\r
\r
You may need to edit the text files Tools/Conf/target.txt and\r
Tools/Conf/tools_def.txt (created by edksetup) using your favorite\r
text editor to ensure that the paths to the tools you want to use\r
to build EDK II binaries are correct.  These files contain the default\r
paths (as per the default installation of the tools), so a customized\r
install may require this manual process.\r
\r
Once this is completed, you are ready to test the build, by executing:\r
    c:\MyWork\edk2\> build\r
\r
This command builds the active platform specified in text file target.txt. If\r
the active platform is not specified target.txt, you must execute the build\r
command from the sub-directory that contains FPD files. For more information\r
