Trying to build an uefi application that is out of UDK directory

Trying to build an uefi application that is out of UDK directory

[Denis Alberto Silverio]

Hi guys
I've created an uefi application in a directory that is not inside the
EDK2015 folder.
For example:

My UDK folder is:
C:\Projects\UEFI\UDK2015_r18552
|- BaseTools
|- Conf
|- CryptoPkg
|-....etc

My Uefi app is on:
C:\Projects\UEFI\Projects\MyApp
|- EntryPoint.c
|- MyApp.dsc
|- .....etc

I´ve done the whole UDK2015 build proccess and now i'am trying to build my
application
So, to build my app i'm running these commands on an Windows cmd:

cd C:\Projects\UEFI\UDK2015_r18552
edksetup.bat --NT32
cd C:\Projects\UEFI\Projects\MyApp
build -p C:\Projects\UEFI\Projects\MaApp\MyApp.dsc -m
C:\Projects\UEFI\Projects\MyApp\MyApp.inf -a X64 -t VS2013x86 -D
PROJECT_DIRECTORY_NAME=C:\Projects\UEFI\Projects\MyApp

and this error appears..

To resolve this problem, I created a symbolic link on UDK2015 folder to
linking myApp folder and apparently it works.
Is there another way to build an application that is out of UDK folder?

Thank you!
