EDK II Prime packages are in the development phase. They consist of:\r
\r
  BuildNotes2.txt         - The build notes for this package\r
  MdePkg                  - Industry-standard headers and libraries\r
  BaseTools               - Build -specific tools that are designed to help the\r
                            developer create and modify drivers and libraries\r
  IntelFrameworkPkg       - Tiano/Framework Includes and Libraries\r
  MdeModulePkg            - UEFI 2.1/PI 1.0 compliant modules\r
  IntelFrameworkModulePKg - Tiano/Framework Includes and Libraries\r
  Nt32Pkg                 - UEFI 2.1/PI 1.0 emulation environment for Windows\r
  FatBinPkg               - Binaries built from the FatPkg \r
  EdkShellBinPkg          - Binaries of full shell, minimum shell and commonds(to be added)\r
\r
Note:\r
  EdkShellBinPkg is supported to support both EDK II build and EDKII Prime build by having several module description files.\r
\r
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------\r
Quick Start\r
-----------\r
\r
In a command window, change to the top-level directory of the EDK II source.\r
\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
and then begin to build\r
    c:\MyWork\edk2\> cd MdeModulePkg\Application\HelloWorld\r
    c:\MyWork\edk2\> build\r
\r
If you want to build the modules in other packages\r
(For example, MdePkg\Library\BaseLib\BaseLib.inf), please edit open the <WORKSPACE>\Conf\Target.txt first,\r
\r
change the following line\r
    ACTIVE_PLATFORM       = MdeModulePkg/MdeModulePkg.dsc\r
to\r
    ACTIVE_PLATFORM       = MdePkg/MdePkg.dsc\r
\r
and then go to MdePkg\Library\BaseLib directory and build\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
\r
Instead of changing Target.txt, you can specify platform, module and/or architecture on command line.\r
For example, if you want to build NT32 platform, you can just type \r
\r
		c:\MyWork\edk2\> build -p Nt32Pkg\Nt32Pkg.dsc -a IA32\r
\r
and if you want to build HelloWorld module, you can just type\r
\r
		c:\MyWork\edk2\> build -p Nt32Pkg\Nt32Pkg.dsc -a IA32 -m MdeModulePkg\Application\HelloWorld\HelloWorld.inf\r
\r
Other helpful command line options of build tool include "-v" and "-d". "-v" option is used to turn on\r
the verbose build, which provide more information during the build. "-d <debug level 0-9>" option is used to\r
turn on the debug information which is helpful debugging build tools.\r
\r
For more information on build options, please try "build -h" on command line. Note that "/?" is not working.\r
\r
\r
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------\r
Supported build targets\r
-----------------------\r
\r
all       - Build whole platform or module. It can be ignored.\r
genc      - Generate AutoGen.c, AutoGen.h and <ModuleName>.depex files only.\r
genmake   - Generate makefiles in addition to files generated by "genc" target.\r
clean     - Clean intermediate files\r
cleanall  - Clean all generated files and directories during build, except Makefile\r
cleanlib  - Clean all generated files and directories during library build\r
run       - Launch NT32 shell (only valid for NT32 platform)\r
\r
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------\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
		build/build.py	    - The entry tool of build tools\r
		AutoGen/AutoGen.py  - Generate AutoGen.c/.h and makefile only\r
\r
	"build.py" steps:\r
		1. Run "edksetup.bat newbuild"\r
        2. set PYTHONPATH to the local directory of above source (BaseTools/Source/Python)\r
		3. Set ACTIVE_PLATFORM in WORKSPACE\Conf\r
		4. Go to platform or module directory\r
		5. Run "<python_interpreter.exe> <python_source_dir>/build/build.py" or "<python_source_dir>/build/build.py"\r
		   directly.\r
\r
	"AutoGen.py" steps:\r
		1. Run "edksetup.bat newbuild"\r
        2. set PYTHONPATH to the local directory of above source (BaseTools/Source/Python)\r
		3. Set ACTIVE_PLATFORM in WORKSPACE\Conf\r
		4. Run "<python_interpreter.exe> <python_source_dir>/AutoGen/AutoGen.py" or "<python_source_dir>/AutoGen/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
    set PYTHONPATH=<buildtools>\BaseTools\Source\Python\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
\r
