Confirmed that it seems related to these two commits:

https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/commit/58802e02c41bd715a5d3586f4bf2a4b1c46e9274

https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/commit/06033f5abad3815e8d80de22c97ba38a05017262

If I roll back to the commit prior, the Tools build works. Anyone involved in BaseTools have an idea? @Feng, Bob C or @Liming Gao?

Yeah, I was noticing some problems with BrotliCompress the other day. Seems like a relatively recent change. I know the 202002 stable tag was fine.

I’ll try to dig into this a bit. Thanks for bring it to our attention!

Hi Bret,

Yes PIP requirements are up to date.

On further digging through the logging file BASETOOLS_BUILD.txt.

INFO - subprocess not exit successfully

INFO - Error while execute command 'nmake all' in direcotry C:\edk2\BaseTools\Source\C\BrotliCompress

Regards,

Navdeep

Have you installed the up-to-date Python requirements? “pip install –upgrade -r pip-requirements.txt”?

That’s the first thing I would check. Otherwise, happy to look at the problem with you.
