Re: [Patch 1/1] BaseTools: Create ".cache" folder when initialize Build object

["Bob Feng" <bob.c.feng@intel.com>]

Yes. I only see ".cache" folder is created in one place, in "Misc.py".

Thanks,
Bob

Hi Bob,

If you create the .cache dir here, can you remove the .cache dir creation in other places, such as Misc.py?
