Re: [edk2-devel] Build failure

["Vincent Zimmer" <vincent.zimmer@intel.com>]

This surprised me.  Maybe edksetup.sh can do something like "nasm -v" and flag this compat issue?

I used the following to update my Debian-based OS's like Ubuntu (bare-metal, WSL, etc).

	wget http://www.nasm.us/pub/nasm/releasebuilds/2.15.05/nasm-2.15.05.tar.bz2
	tar xfj nasm-2.15.05.tar.bz2
	cd nasm-2.15.05/
	./autogen.sh
	./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ 
	make 
	sudo make install

NASM 2.15.05 is required.
