Re: EDK2 build using Visual Studio

[GN Keshava <keshava.gn@gmail.com>]

Hi Liming,

Sorry, I mixed up the things :(

If I try VS2015x86 , I'm getting this error:

Build environment: Windows-post2008Server-6.2.9200
Build start time: 15:54:28, Jun.08 2017

build: : warning: Tool chain [VS2015x86] is not defined


build...
 : error 4000: Not available
        [VS2015x86] not defined. No toolchain available for build!


- Failed -
Build end time: 15:54:28, Jun.08 2017
Build total time: 00:00:00

Am I missing anything here?

Thanks.
Regards,
Keshava
