Re: Newbie: Getting Ovmf built

["Gao, Liming" <liming.gao@intel.com>]

Do you type ". edksetup.bat BaseTools" in Edk2 directory? What output of this command? This script will add edk2 BaseTools path into system PATH, then build can be used. 

And, you can use GCC5 as the default tool chain. It supports GCC 5.0 or the above version.
