Re: [EXTERNAL] [edk2-devel] EDK2 environment setup

["Sean" <spbrogan@outlook.com>]

Are you using edksetup.bat?  I would have expected this code to set the 
path for you. 
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/BaseTools/toolsetup.bat#L134 
  So without more logs i don't know.



If you want to use "stuart" (my preferred method) I have a commit here 
for EmulatorPkg which has a platformbuild.py and readme.md that 
describes the process.  This should be committed to edk2 master this 
week to enable Platform CI for every PR.

Here is the readme and details.
https://github.com/spbrogan/edk2/tree/PlatformAndCoreCIForOvmfArmVirtEmulatorPackages_v10/EmulatorPkg/PlatformCI

Here is the commit you should cherry-pick if you want to try it.

https://github.com/spbrogan/edk2/commit/8bdb9075b52a9d1c196b068729eefd76f068d0a2



Thanks
Sean
