-This directory contains the next generation of EDK II build tools and template files.
-Templates are located in the Conf directory, while the tools executables for
-Microsoft Windows 32-bit Operating Systems are located in the Bin\Win32 directory, other
-directory contatins tools source.
-
-1. Build step to generate the binary tools.
-
-=== Windows/Visual Studio Notes ===
-
-To build the BaseTools, you should run the standard vsvars32.bat script
-from your preferred Visual Studio installation or you can run get_vsvars.bat
-to use latest automatically detected version.
-
-In addition to this, you should set the following environment variables:
-
- * EDK_TOOLS_PATH - Path to the BaseTools sub directory under the edk2 tree
- * BASE_TOOLS_PATH - The directory where the BaseTools source is located.
- (It is the same directory where this README.txt is located.)
- * PYTHON_FREEZER_PATH - Path to where the python freezer tool is installed
-
-After this, you can run the toolsetup.bat file, which is in the same
-directory as this file. It should setup the remainder of the environment,
-and build the tools if necessary.
-
-Please also refer to the 'BuildNotes.txt' file for more information on
-building under Windows.
-
-=== Unix-like operating systems ===
-
-To build on Unix-like operating systems, you only need to type 'make' in
-the base directory of the project.
-
-=== Ubuntu Notes ===
-
-On Ubuntu, the following command should install all the necessary build
-packages to build all the C BaseTools:
-
- sudo apt-get install build-essential uuid-dev
-
-=== Python sqlite3 module ===
-On Windows, the cx_freeze will not copy the sqlite3.dll to the frozen
-binary directory (the same directory as build.exe and GenFds.exe).
-Please copy it manually from <PythonHome>\DLLs.
-
-The Python distributed with most recent Linux will have sqlite3 module
-built in. If not, please install sqlit3 package separately.
