Subversion provides speed, security, and additional features. The recommended client is TortoiseSVN version 1.3.3. (Available at http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/) The checkout procedures on the Tianocore.org Web site include instructions for the use of Subversion Source Control. The URL of the EDK II repository is: https://edk2.tianocore.org/svn/edk2/trunk/edk2 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes On Required Tools (With examples for Windows, OS X, and Linux*) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Software Installation Order: After installing the compiler tools and your Subversion client, install the following required tools in this order: 1. Java JDK 2. Apache-Ant 3. ant-contrib 4. xmlbeans 5. saxon8 Java Development Kit: The Java Environment Variable must be set before attempting to build. For Sun JDK (see note below?: set JAVA_HOME=c:\Java\jdk1.5.0_06 (Windows example) export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/Home/ (OS X example) export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun/ (Linux example) For Bea Systems: set JAVA_HOME=c:\Java\jrockit-R26.0.0-jdk1.5.0_04 ?When using the Sun JDK5.0: During installation, you should specify the install directory as C:\Java instead of C:\Program Files\(or some other drive letter.) While installing to this non-standard location is not required, in practice, it seems to work more reliably. For the JDK, the install path is C:\Java\jdk1.5.0_06 For the JRE, the install path is C:\Java\jre1.5.0_06 Alternatively, you can specify C:\sunjavajdk and C:\sunjavajre. NOTE: You cannot combine the location for the JDK and the JRE, because the JRE install removes most of the binaries and libraries installed by the JDK install. Java Tools: The Apache-ANT requires the ANT_HOME environment variable to be set before attempting to build: set ANT_HOME=c:\ export ANT_HOME=~/ExternalTools/apache-ant (OS X and Linux example) The ant-contrib.jar file should be installed in the %ANT_HOME%\lib directory. XMLBeans, requires the XMLBEANS_HOME environment variable to be set before attempting to build: set XMLBEANS_HOME=C:\ export XMLBEANS_HOME=~/ExternalTools/xmlbeans (OS X and Linux example) Copy the saxon8.jar file to the %XMLBEANS_HOME%\lib directory. The Ant and XMLBean tools must be in the path. MS system example: set PATH=%PATH%;%ANT_HOME%\bin;%XMLBEANS_HOME%\bin Linux/OS X bash shell example: export PATH=$PATH:${ANT_HOME}/bin:${XMLBEANS_HOME}/bin -------------------- A Word on Apache-ANT -------------------- The Apache-ANT program is a build tool that uses XML-based project files. Similar to Makefiles, these project files may contain multiple targets. Most build.xml files in EDK II are auto-generated; any edits performed on the build.xml files will be overwritten by the next build. Pre-defined targets in the build.xml file include: all - This target builds binaries for defined architectures. clean - This target removes object files generated by commands. cleanall - This target removes all generated files and directories. ---------------------------- A Word on the GCC Tool Chain ---------------------------- EDK II will not compile with a standard Linux gcc tool chain. While Linux distributions are usually based on ELF, EDK II requires a version of gcc that is configured to produce PE-COFF images. You will find a script in /Tools/gcc/tianoCross-gcc-4.1 that will download, configure, compile, and install a gcc 4.1 cross-compile tool chain for EDK II development. This custom tool chain supports the IA-32 architecture. It can be built and run on Cygwin, Linux, and many other POSIX-compliant host operating environments. To compile the custom gcc tool chain, you need the following tools on your host computer: bash, gcc, gmake, curl (or wget). Only the MdePkg and EdkModulePkg are currently supported by gcc builds. Other builds, such as the EdkNt32Pkg, will not compile with gcc. By default, the edk2 will try to build the NT32.fpd, which is not supported by gcc. So, you need to change the Tools/Conf/target.txt. The cross-compile build script has been tested on Cygwin, OS X and Linux. You should expect to hack on these scripts to make them work on your system. You may need to install additional tools on your system to make the scripts work. 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 (which enables the download of the gcc compiler source code) tar bzip gzip bash and possibly others 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. To view mount information, type: mount 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. Textmode is required to retain or add the DOS ^M characters in DOS batch files during file editing sessions. You can switch from textmode to binmode for compilation by executing the following: mount -b --change-cygdrive-prefix cygdrive Cygwin is pretty slow, so it is not recommended for large builds. The platform to be built is identified by the Tools/Conf/target.txt file: # # PROPERTY Type Use Description # ---------------- -------- -------- ----------------------------------------------------------- # ACTIVE_PLATFORM Filename Recommended Specify the WORKSPACE relative Path and Filename # of the platform FPD file that will be used for the build # This line is required if and only if the current working # directory does not contain one or more FPD files. ACTIVE_PLATFORM = You can leave it black, as above, or set it to any .fpd file in the workspace. If you leave it blank, then you just cd to the dir that contains the .fpd that you would like to build (MdePkg/ or EdkModulePkg/) and then type build. ---------------------------- A Word on compiling on Linux ---------------------------- In order to compile on Linux, you will need to have the e2fsprogs-devel package installed. Check your distribution for the rpm, deb or other package format. This package contains the uuid library and header that are used by some of the host tools. If you are running on x86_64 Linux, then you should install a 64 bit version of the Java JDK. The version that was used was jdk-1_5_0_07-linux-amd64-rpm.bin. It may be downloaded from sun.com. ----------------------------------------- A Word on compiling under Cygwin with gcc ----------------------------------------- Cygwin is a POSIX style operating environment for Windows. It is possible to compile the EDK 2 using gcc and cygwin. Compiling under cygwin is slow, because the underlying file accesses are slow in cygwin. For this reason, we do not encourage the use of cygwin. A true unix system will be a superior choice for those wishing to compile with gcc. Make sure that you select the e2fsprogs development package when you install cygwin. It is necessary for the GenFvImage tool. ---------------------------------------- A Word on gcc for Processor Architectures ---------------------------------------- Currently gcc support is limited to IA-32 builds, generating IA-32 PE32 images. The X64 bit (Intel 64, etc.) support under the gcc compiler does not support the EFIAPI calling convention (as defined in the UEFI 2.0 specification Chapter 2), so it is not possible to build a working EFI image for an X64 environment. Since the x64 gcc does not support the EFIAPI calling convention the x64 tools do not support generating a PE32+ image. The EFIAPI calling convention is very similar to the Microsoft x64 calling convention. On Itanium?Processors the gcc compiler does not support generating a PE32+ image. ----------------------- Notes on Documentation ----------------------- The documents are being managed by the Subversion Source Control on Tianocore.org. The document repository is "docs" and must be checked out separately from the EDK II source tree. Refer to the checkout procedures on the Tianocore.org Web site for EDK II. The URL of the document repository is: https://edk2.tianocore.org/svn/edk2/trunk/docs ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quick Start ----------- (assumes Microsoft Tools and OS environment, for GCC Tools or Linux, see "Detailed Starting Instructions" below) Follow the instructions at https://edk2.tianocore.org/servlets/ProjectSource to check out the entire EDK II source tree. In a command window, change to the top-level directory of the EDK II source. To test your tool chain setup and to build the supplied tools, execute: c:\MyWork\edk2\> edksetup ForceRebuild (The edksetup script is referred to as the setup command throughout the rest of this document.) NOTE: You should run the setup command at the start of every session. This configures the environment to include the TianoTools and the Java applications and libraries. You will need to set the WORKSPACE environment variable, or run the edksetup script (without any arguments), any time you want to build. Set the WORKSPACE environment variable, e.g.: c:\> set WORKSPACE=C:\MyWork\edk2 You may need to edit the text files Tools/Conf/target.txt and Tools/Conf/tools_def.txt (created by edksetup) using your favorite text editor to ensure that the paths to the tools you want to use to build EDK II binaries are correct. These files contain the default paths (as per the default installation of the tools), so a customized install may require this manual process. Once this is completed, you are ready to test the build, by executing: c:\MyWork\edk2\> build This command builds the active platform specified in text file target.txt. If the active platform is not specified target.txt, you must execute the build command from the sub-directory that contains FPD files. For more information about the active platform policy, see the “EDK II Build and Packaging Architecture Specification.? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Detailed Starting Instructions ------------------------------ Follow the instructions at https://edk2.tianocore.org/servlets/ProjectSource to check out the entire EDK II source tree. In a command window, change to the top-level directory of the EDK II source. If the active compiler tool chain is GCC, you must set the environment variable, TOOL_CHAIN to "gcc" before running the edksetup script. Example: export TOOL_CHAIN=gcc To test your tool chain setup and to build the supplied tools, execute: c:\MyWork\edk2\> edksetup ForceRebuild On Linux systems, you must source the edksetup.sh file to load the correct settings into your shell. . edksetup.sh # Note the dot. If you have recently updated your code from subversion, the tools will need to be rebuilt if there were any code changes made to them. You can request that the tools get rebuilt by typing: . edksetup.sh Rebuild # Unix-like systems edksetup.bat Rebuild # Windows The edksetup script is referred to as the setup command throughout the rest of this document. NOTE: You should run the setup command (edksetup)at the start of every session. This configures the environment to include the TianoTools and the Java applications and libraries. Any changes to the tool source code or XML Schema documents require that you execute the following: c:\MyWork\edk2\> edksetup ForceRebuild You must set the WORKSPACE environment variable, or run the edksetup script (without any arguments), any time you want to build. Set the WORKSPACE environment variable, e.g.: c:\> set WORKSPACE=C:\MyWork\edk2 You may need to edit the text files Tools/Conf/target.txt and Tools/Conf/tools_def.txt (created by edksetup) using your favorite text editor to ensure that the paths to the tools you want to use to build EDK II binaries are correct. These files contain the default paths (as per the default installation of the tools), so a customized tool installation may require this manual process. Once this is completed, you are ready to test the build, by executing: c:\MyWork\edk2\> build This command builds the active platform specified in text file target.txt. If the active platform is not specified, go to the sub-directory that contains FPD files and execute the build command. For more information about the active platform policy, see the “EDK II Build and Packaging Architecture Specification.? -------------------------- Individual Platform Builds -------------------------- After running the setup command, you can build individual platforms. In the command window: Set the active platform in target.txt, and execute this command: c:\\> build or cd to the platform (FPD file) that you want to build and execute this command: c:\MyWork\edk2\EdkNt32Pkg\> build Note that the active platform specified in target.txt overrides the platform specified by any FPD file in the current directory. For more information about active platform policy, see the “EDK II Build and Packaging Architecture Specification.? To run the Nt32 emulation platform under Microsoft Windows, go to \DEBUG\MSFT\IA32 and execute SecMain.exe To exit the Nt32 emulation platform, type “reset?at the EFI Shell> command prompt. Alternatively, from the graphical interface, select the Boot Maintenance Manager's “Reset System?command. NOTE: When creating a new platform, the Platform Name is restricted to a single word containing alphanumeric characters, underscore, dash, and period. The space character and other special characters are not allowed. ----------------------- Notes on Symbolic Debug ----------------------- To enable EFI Symbolic Debugging, make sure the target output is set to DEBUG in the text file Tools/Conf/target.txt and then modify the FPD
