We tried GCC at https://sourceforge.net/projects/gcc-win64/

And then we tried GCC ver5.4

We are getting the following error:

x86_64-5.4.0-release-posix-sjlj-rt_v5-rev0/mingw64/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/5.4.0/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe:
unrecognised emulation mode: elf_x86_64



Can you please let me know the recommended/suggested GCC version to compile
UDK2022 stable202211? Also if there is any link with instructions to
compile UDK2022 with GCC would be helpful?



Thanks,

Daniel

Hi,

Can you recommend a GCC compiler to build UDK2022?



Thanks

FWIW, I'm not sure if the EDK2 GCC toolchains support Windows, at
least you should need a Linux cross-toolchain.
Per BaseTools/Conf/tools_def.template, "GCC 5 with LTO support,
targeting x86_64-linux-gnu, aarch64-linux-gnu, arm-linux-gnueabi,
riscv64-linux-gnu or loongarch64-linux-gnu".
So if you really want GCC, try building a cross-toolchain (GCC built
to run on Windows and targeting one of the above targets, using
--target and a plethora of other options that are wildly offtopic
here).
