Rebecca,

I don't see detailed instructions for how to build the base tools in the new wiki pages. But if you use the python /pytool method then a path file is generated and Stuart will set the path correctly.

This file should be used to build the base tools
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/BaseTools/Edk2ToolsBuild.py

You can read a little more about the feature here. https://www.tianocore.org/edk2-pytool-extensions/features/sde/#path_env-descriptors

Thanks
Sean
