Building edk2 with Windows

Building edk2 with Windows

[Jannis Ötjengerdes]

Hello,

I want to build an "OVMF"-Image with Windows. I followed your guide
https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/Windows-systems which
works perfectly fine with the MdeModulePkg.

However, if I change that to OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgX64.dsc the build fails. I did
not found any guide providing the information to do it correctly. I thought
it would be the same as before.

When I'm trying to build I get the following error:

operable program or batch file.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"L:\edk2-win\nasmnasm' : return code '0x1'
Stop.

I installed nasm and set the enviroment variable. My Conf/target.txt
configuration:

TARGET                = DEBUG
ACTIVE_PLATFORM       = OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgX64.dsc
TARGET_ARCH           = X64

Other values are default.

I installed Visual Studio 2013 Professional as the comments in the
tools_def.txt told me. But anyway, it's not working.

If anyone knows how to fix it, please contact me.


Thanks!

Which directory includes nasm? If it is in L:\edk2-win\nasm, please set NASM_PREFIX=L:\edk2-win\nasm\
