Subject: [edk2-platforms PATCH 1/1] Readme.md: update outdated info about building BaseTools in parallel
Date: Sat, 27 Nov 2021 19:31:43 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211128023143.15533-1-rebecca@bsdio.com> (raw)
edk2 commit 9e1131b70b4b6002cd1904401946ef0b22cf7d33 fixed the
dependencies in the BaseTools GNUMakefile to allow the build to be
run with multiple threads.
Update Readme.md to provide an example of building with "-j4".
