* Can I do this in an INF file?

I'm trying to cross compile a runtime library to work in an Application (for testing). I can't seem to restrict files and libs to specific module types?

[Sources.common.UEFI_APPLICATION]
  FakeRuntime.c


[LibraryClasses.common.DXE_RUNTIME_DRIVER] 
  UefiRuntimeLib

Am I using the wrong syntax?

Thanks,

Andrew Fish

Andrew:
  There is no such usage. INF can specify source files for the different ARCHs, but not specify source files for the different module type. In fact, INF module type is fixed. It can't be changed to other type in build time. If you expect the library to be linked to the different type driver with the different sources, you may create two version INF files to include the different source files.  

Thanks

Liming,

Thanks. Yes given how the build system works what I asked is not possible. 

I ended up doing it the correct way and made an instance of the UefiRuntimeLib to link against. 

Thanks,

Liming,

Why does INF syntax support [LibraryClasses.common.DXE_RUNTIME_DRIVER] if it does nothing? 

https://edk2-docs.gitbooks.io/edk-ii-inf-specification/content/3_edk_ii_inf_file_format/36_[libraryclasses]_sections.html

Thanks,

Andrew Fish

Liming,

Thanks. I think it may be present in a few more sections. I got distracted trying to figure out what  BNF was saying and I forgot that there would be no way to implement what I was trying to do in the current build system. 

Thanks,

Andrew Fish
