Re: Newbie: Getting Ovmf built

[Peter Wiehe <peter.wiehe2@gmail.com>]

OK

Building went well to a certain point. I successfully git cloned. I
built the BaseTools.

I (seemingly successfully) setup the build shell environment. (I got no errors.)

In the target conf file I chose "IA32 X64" and ELFGCC (since I habe
gcc 7.3.0 installed).
When I type "build", there comes an error like "Command build not found".

I thought that maybe it's because of the shell environment variable
$PATH. $PATH does NOT contain the edk2 source directory in any way
(despite the fact that I entered "export EDK_TOOLS_PATH...").

What can I do?

Greetings
Peter
