Re: Building UDK2017 with VS2015 fails - please help

Tahnia,

My guess is that you are not using NASM.

It appears that InternalMemIsZeroBuffer is only implemented for NASM and not ASM.
Which is a bug since building with ASM results in a missing function.

Your tools_def.txt file is missing this statement.  Please make sure this statement
is present in yours and install NASM and try again.

Thanks,

Mike

Subject: Building UDK2017 with VS2015 fails - please help

Hi,

I am new to Tianocore and EDK II. Not sure if this is the right place to ask my question, please advise if there is a more suitable forum.

I am trying to build the UDK2017 on Windows 10 x64, using Visual Studio 2015 (configured for AMD64 compiler).

I followed the procedure documented in UDK2017 How-to-Build<https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/UDK2017-How-to-Build>. I copied the source .zip and cloned Basetools, checking out the specified version. I have not changed any source files, but added the VS2015x86 toolchain to tools_def.txt (attached), and also modified targets.txt with the following:

TOOL_CHAIN_TAG       = VS2015x86
ACTIVE_PLATFORM     = MdeModulePkg/MdeModulePkg.dsc

When I open the VS2015 command prompt, and run:
edksetup --nt32
build -t VS2015x86

It builds MdeModulePkg successfully (build log attached).

But when I run:
edksetup --nt32
edk2setup --nt32
build -p Nt32Pkg\Nt32Pkg.dsc

I get the following error (build log attached):

    Creating library c:\projects\edk\udk2017\Build\NT32IA32\DEBUG_VS2015x86\IA32\MdeModulePkg\Application\UiApp\UiApp\DEBUG\UiApp.lib and object c:\projects\edk\udk2017\Build\NT32IA32\DEBUG_VS2015x86\IA32\MdeModulePkg\Application\UiApp\UiApp\DEBUG\UiApp.exp

Also when I run:
edksetup --nt32
build -a IA32 -a X64 -p CorebootPayloadPkg\CorebootPayloadPkgIa32X64.dsc -b DEBUG

I get a different error (build log attached):

Please can you help me to get Nt32Pkg and CorebootPayloadPkg to build? Is there any additional changes I need to make to my build environment, other than listed in UDK2017 How-to-Build<https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/UDK2017-How-to-Build>? Or is my tools_def.txt wrong? Or do I need to dig a bit in the UDK2017 source to fix the errors I am getting?

Best regards,

Tahnia
