-This is EDK style package:
-1. It contians an SVN extern Shell directory for the SVN address:
- https://efi-shell.tianocore.org/svn/efi-shell/trunk/Shell
-2. This SVN extern directory is from EDK Shell Source project and is read only.
- Current version (r30) corresponds to EDK Shell 1.05 official release.
+This is EDK style package and the following steps can help to build the package:
+1. Download the newly EDK Shell project release EdkShell1.05.zip from the following URL and unzip it to
+ a local directory in workspace, for example, $(WORKSPACE)\Shell:
+ https://efi-shell.tianocore.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=52&expandFolder=52&folderID=0
+
+ Alternatively, the EDK Shell source directory can be retrieved from the following SVN address:
+ https://efi-shell.tianocore.org/svn/efi-shell/trunk/Shell
+ SVN Revision r30 corresponds to EDK Shell 1.05 official release.
+
+2. Update EDK_SHELL_DIR macro in the [Defines] section in EdkShellPkg.dsc to point to
+ the directory containing the EDK Shell source directory, e.g. Shell.
+
3. The ShellHotFix.patch file solves the follow two issues in EDK Shell 1.05 release:
a. RFC3066 language compatibility issue in drivers command.
b. "CHAR8" compatibility issue in DmpStore, Edit command and shell script execution.
This patch will be integrated into the later official release.
+
4. The EDK II style DSC file is used to validate build EDK Shell source & EDK compatibility package and can generate the binaries in EdkShellBinPkg.
To use this file, execute the following command under workspace to build EDK Shell source:
build -a IA32 -a X64 -a IPF -p EdkShellPkg\EdkShellPkg.dsc \ No newline at end of file
