Hello
I'm working on a small UEFI shell app.
I was hoping to make use of the JsonLib found in the Redfish Package.
When I include the Redfish JsonLib and it's dependencies:
JsonLib|RedfishPkg/Library/JsonLib/JsonLib.inf
Ucs2Utf8Lib|RedfishPkg/Library/BaseUcs2Utf8Lib/BaseUcs2Utf8Lib.inf
RedfishCrtLib|RedfishPkg/PrivateLibrary/RedfishCrtLib/RedfishCrtLib.inf
BaseSortLib|MdeModulePkg/Library/BaseSortLib/BaseSortLib.inf
BaseSortLib has symbol clashes with SortLib resulting in the following:
It looks like BaseSortLib and and SortLib are the same library class so you should only have one.
/Volumes/Case/edk2(master)>git grep --recurse-submodules SortLib -- \*.inf | grep LIBRARY_CLASS
MdeModulePkg/Library/BaseSortLib/BaseSortLib.inf:18: LIBRARY_CLASS = SortLib
MdeModulePkg/Library/UefiSortLib/UefiSortLib.inf:18: LIBRARY_CLASS = SortLib|UEFI_APPLICATION UEFI_DRIVER UEFI_DRIVER DXE_RUNTIME_DRIVER DXE_DRIVER
/Volumes/Case/edk2(master)>git grep --recurse-submodules BaseSortLib -- \*.inc
RedfishPkg/RedfishLibs.dsc.inc:16: BaseSortLib|MdeModulePkg/Library/BaseSortLib/BaseSortLib.inf
OK bingo bingo bingo….
The way the edk2 works is you have a library class that maps to the include file. This is the name in the INF file that resolves linking. You can have as many instances of the library class as you like. This is why the DSC files have the <library class name>|<path to INF file> syntax as you are letting the build pick which instance of the library to use. You can control this per driver/app if you want.
It looks to me like BaseSortLib is an alias for SortLib and that is a bit of hack.
You could try making sure that BaseSortLib and SortLib point to the same library instance
The other option would be to edit RedfishCrtLib.inf and make BaseSortLib SortLib
/Volumes/Case/edk2(master)>git grep --recurse-submodules BaseSortLib -- \*.inf
MdeModulePkg/Library/BaseSortLib/BaseSortLib.inf:13: BASE_NAME = BaseSortLib
MdeModulePkg/Library/BaseSortLib/BaseSortLib.inf:14: MODULE_UNI_FILE = BaseSortLib.uni
MdeModulePkg/Library/BaseSortLib/BaseSortLib.inf:25: BaseSortLib.c
RedfishPkg/PrivateLibrary/RedfishCrtLib/RedfishCrtLib.inf:28: BaseSortLib
I’m note sure why this fake BaseSortLib exists. Looks like we would need to ask Abner?

RedfishPkg/RedfishCrtLib: Redfish C runtime library
Redfish CRT library is currently used by edk2 JsonLib
(open source jansson project) and edk2 RedfishLib
(libredfish open source project). Redfish CrtLib library
provides the necessary C runtime equivalent edk2 functions
for open source projects.
Thanks,

I need SortLib for UEFIShell dependencies, and I need BaseSortLib for JsonLib.
Is there some way around this? Or is Redfish meant to be standalone?
Thank you in advance
