Based on the output, am I correct in assuming that the generated ABCPPSupportLib makefile does not have a rule for making ABCPPSupportLib.obj?

Subject: [edk2-devel] Updating to latest EDK2 and now get NMAKE: fatal error U1073: Don't know how to make.. on some items?

Hi,

I haven't updated the edk2 in quite a while, I went ahead and did it tonight, stdlib was removed so I had to move stuff around.  Where I used to have C:\EDK2, I now have C:\EDK\EDK2 and C:\EDK\EDK2-CLIB.   My private directory is still under C:\EDK\EDK2\Acme.   After figuring out how to get stdlib on its own repository by using the new directory, I then had to setup a batch file to do my edksetup in a different way.  Now has:

set WORKSPACE=%CD%

set PACKAGES_PATH=%WORKSPACE%\edk2-libc;%WORKSPACE%\edk2

set EDK_TOOLS_PATH=%WORKSPACE%\edk2\BaseTools

cd %WORKSPACE%\edk2

edksetup.bat

It's all looking pretty good.  I am using VS2008 for my EDK builds, I decided to stay with my old build_rule.txt, target.txt and tools_def.txt which has some older stuff in it that doesn't apply (I looked at the new stuff, but I have some custom switches and it wasn't much different).   So I run my build switch to build my UEFI application and it starts and builds some items, but then dies with the NMAKE failure and I have no clue why.   Here are some of the details after deleting c:\edk\build which is where it wants to go.

Both of those that failed have:

[Packages]

 StdLib/StdLib.dec.

I'm not sure if that has something to do with it but the others built fine.   I looked for any differences in the .inf or .dec and .dsc but all looks fine.

There used to be a build-tools mailing list but it doesn't exist and could only find these new group/mailing lists.  Can someone help?   Is there a way to get more details on what it doesn't like?  Do I have to do something different now that the LIBC stuff is split up to their own folder?

TIA!!
