2013-05-15OvmfPkg: enable the generic network stack by defaultjljusten
DHCP, PXE, and StdLib socket apps are enabled in OVMF by the sum of: (a) a UEFI NIC driver, (b) the generic network stack. The only choice for (a) used to be the proprietary Intel E1000 driver, which is cumbersome to obtain and enable. The iPXE UEFI NIC drivers packaged with qemu-1.5 cover (a) for each NIC type supported by qemu, and are easy to obtain & configure, even for earlier qemu versions. Therefore enable (b) per default as well. This doesn't take up much space; the binaries (b) adds to the firmware don't seem to need -D FD_SIZE_2MB. Intel's e1000 driver remains an option, requested by the -D E1000_ENABLE build flag.

2012-07-31OvmfPkg: Disable debugging for UNIXGCC to save spacejljusten
UNIXGCC builds larger images than GCC44, and can have issues fitting into the FD image. Therefore, when using UNIXGCC, debug will be disabled by default. The README file is updated with instructions for selectively enabling debug for UNIXGCC.

2011-01-09OvmfPkg/build.sh: Add features and replace build32/64.shjljusten
Add a single build.sh to replace build32.sh & build64.sh. The script watches for various parameters: -a: allows selecting IA32 or X64 (default) -b: allows selecting RELEASE or DEBUG (default) -t: allows selecting the toolchain When running qemu, the script doesn't always add -hda now. If the user provides a disk parameter (for example, -fda, -hda or -cdrom), then -hda will not be added to the qemu command line. git-svn-id: https://edk2.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/edk2/trunk/edk2@11238 6f19259b-4bc3-4df7-8a09-765794883524
