Re: [PATCH v1 1/1] BaseTools: Add HOST_APPLICATION module type.

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

I see the change in build_rule.txt. I understand its output file is decided by this rule. Right? 

[Static-Library-File.USER_DEFINED, Static-Library-File.HOST_APPLICATION]
    <InputFile>
        *.lib

    <ExtraDependency>
        $(MAKE_FILE)

    <OutputFile>
        $(DEBUG_DIR)(+)$(MODULE_NAME)

    <Command.MSFT, Command.INTEL>
        "$(DLINK)" $(DLINK_FLAGS) $(DLINK_SPATH) @$(STATIC_LIBRARY_FILES_LIST)

    <Command.GCC>
        "$(DLINK)" $(DLINK_FLAGS) -Wl,--start-group,@$(STATIC_LIBRARY_FILES_LIST),--end-group $(DLINK2_FLAGS)

    <Command.RVCT>
        "$(DLINK)" $(DLINK_FLAGS) -o ${dst} $(DLINK_SPATH) --via $(STATIC_LIBRARY_FILES_LIST) $(DLINK2_FLAGS)

    <Command.RVCTCYGWIN>
        #$(STATIC_LIBRARY_FILES_LIST) has the wrong paths for cygwin
        "$(DLINK)" $(DLINK_FLAGS) -o ${dst} $(DLINK_SPATH) $(STATIC_LIBRARY_FILES) $(DLINK2_FLAGS)

    <Command.XCODE>
        "$(DLINK)" -o ${dst} $(DLINK_FLAGS)  $(DLINK_SPATH) -filelist $(STATIC_LIBRARY_FILES_LIST)  $(DLINK2_FLAGS)
     

Thanks
