Thanks Liming And FIsh,

Xiaofeng:
 BaseTools Windows Makefile (BaseTools\Source\C\Makefile) sets ARCH = IA32. It means BaseTools C tool passes IA32 arch only in Windows OS. I don't try building it with X64 arch. You can update ARCH=X64, and try building BaseTools with 64bit VS compiler. If you meet with warning or error, you can try to clean up them.




The Unix BaseTools makefile build for multiple architectures based on what they detect. So the build should generically be clean for X64.

https://sourceforge.net/p/edk2/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/edk2/BaseTools/Source/C/Makefiles/header.makefile


If Windows is hard coded to IA32 lookout for a hard code include path to  $(MAKEROOT)/Include/Ia32/ as the Unix makes set that dynamically.




Actually it looks like the lower level Windows tries to do the right thing for X64? 


https://sourceforge.net/p/edk2/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/edk2/BaseTools/Source/C/Makefiles/ms.common


!IF "$(ARCH)"=="IA32"
ARCH_INCLUDE = $(SOURCE_PATH)\Include\Ia32
BIN_PATH     = $(BASE_TOOLS_PATH)\Bin\Win32
LIB_PATH     = $(BASE_TOOLS_PATH)\Lib\Win32
SYS_BIN_PATH = $(EDK_TOOLS_PATH)\Bin\Win32
SYS_LIB_PATH = $(EDK_TOOLS_PATH)\Lib\Win32
!ENDIF

!IF "$(ARCH)"=="X64"
ARCH_INCLUDE = $(SOURCE_PATH)\Include\X64
BIN_PATH     = $(BASE_TOOLS_PATH)\Bin\Win64
LIB_PATH     = $(BASE_TOOLS_PATH)\Lib\Win64
SYS_BIN_PATH = $(EDK_TOOLS_PATH)\Bin\Win64
SYS_LIB_PATH = $(EDK_TOOLS_PATH)\Lib\Win64
!ENDIF

HI Fish,
  Thanks for your answer. Actually I am not trying to build base tools . I am
writing a windows console tool and want to reuse some code of base tools
common library, All the changes will be in my platform packages, Due to
some history reason , my own tool is treating UINTN as x64 mode, so will it
possible to build common.lib in X64 mode?
 Thanks in advance!

The base tools width could be OS Specific so you should not depend on it. In
other words it has nothing to do with your ROM. You should code tools to
exact sizes, and only use UINTN if you don't care about size.

Hi Base tool owners,
 I tried to build commonlib  in basetools . And use the library file in my
own application tool . I just found the commonlib is build in IA32 mode ,this
means UINTN is 4 byte in the output lib. I expect to build a X64 mode
Common.lib ,can you help me?
 Or base tools can only run in IA32 mode?
