Subject: [edk2-BuildSpecification PATCH] Use macros in !include file paths
Date: Wed, 12 Apr 2017 14:38:59 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1492033139-8604-2-git-send-email-michael.d.kinney@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1492033139-8604-1-git-send-email-michael.d.kinney@intel.com>
https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=472
The EBNF already allows !include statements to use
$(MACRO) values in the file path. This change updates
the description and examples for !include statements
to allow the use of macros and specific environment
variables in !include file paths.
