-You may run these scripts to build a UEFI/PI gcc cross compiler.
-
-Cross compilers built with these scripts are tested on
-Linux, OS X and Cygwin.
-
-Please note that you may need to modify your edk2 tree's Conf/tools_def.txt
-file to point to the location where you installed the cross compiler.
-
-=== tianoCross-gcc-4.1 ===
-
-This script will build an x86 (ia32) cross compiler.
-
-The results of this script are very similar to the 'mingw' cross compiler
-which is commonly available on linux and OS X. But, since the cross
-compiler produced by this script is tested, it is the only 'supported' way
-to build UEFI/PI images.
-
-To use this script, you will need:
-
- * A recent version (3.0 or later should be fine) of gcc that is able to produce
- executables for the machine that you want to run this compiler on (the host
- machine).
- * wget or curl
- * tar
- * bzip
- * gzip
- * bash
- * As well as (possibly) others tools and development packages
-
-=== x86_64-mingw-gcc-build.py ==
-
-This script will build an x86_64 (x64/Intel 64/amd64) cross compiler.
-
-To use this script, you will need:
-
- * A recent version (3.0 or later should be fine) of gcc that is able to
- produce executables for the machine that you want to run this compiler
- on (the host machine).
- * Python 2.5
- * texinfo
- * bison
- * flex
- * libmpfr
- * libgmp
- * As well as (possibly) others tools and development packages
-
-=== Ubuntu Notes ===
-
-On Ubuntu, the following command should install all the necessary build
-packages to utilize the x86_64-mingw-gcc-build.py script:
-
- sudo apt-get install build-essential texinfo bison flex libgmp3-dev libmpfr-dev
-
-=== CYGWIN Notes ===
-
-You should setup cygwin to use binmode on all mounts. When you initially
-install cygwin it gives you the choice of Unix file mode (recommended) or DOS
-file mode. Unix mode will cause all the cygwin directories to be mounted in
-binmode, while DOS will mount the dirs in textmode. Here is an example of a
-cygwin install where the dirs are (properly) mounted in binmode.
-
-C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type user (binmode)
-C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type user (binmode)
-c:\workspace on /workspace type system (binmode)
-C:\cygwin on / type user (binmode)
-
-If you use textmode, it is likely that the build will fail in a way that is
-hard to debug.
-
-Cygwin is pretty slow, so it is not recommended for large builds.
