Hi David, You do need to update to latest tools_def.txt, target.txt, and build_rules.txt. I also recommend you use VS2015, 2017, or VS2019 and let us know what issues you see after these 2 changes.

Hi, I haven't updated the edk2 in quite a while, I went ahead and did it tonight, stdlib was removed so I had to move stuff around. Where I used to have C:\EDK2, I now have C:\EDK\EDK2 and C:\EDK\EDK2-CLIB. My private directory is still under C:\EDK\EDK2\Acme. After figuring out how to get stdlib on its own repository by using the new directory, I then had to setup a batch file to do my edksetup in a different way. Now has: set WORKSPACE=%CD% set PACKAGES_PATH=%WORKSPACE%\edk2-libc;%WORKSPACE%\edk2 set EDK_TOOLS_PATH=%WORKSPACE%\edk2\BaseTools cd %WORKSPACE%\edk2 edksetup.bat It's all looking pretty good. I am using VS2008 for my EDK builds, I decided to stay with my old build_rule.txt, target.txt and tools_def.txt which has some older stuff in it that doesn't apply (I looked at the new stuff, but I have some custom switches and it wasn't much different). So I run my build switch to build my UEFI application and it starts and builds some items, but then dies with the NMAKE failure and I have no clue why. Here are some of the details after deleting c:\edk\build which is where it wants to go.

I'm not sure if that has something to do with it but the others built fine. I looked for any differences in the .inf or .dec and .dsc but all looks fine. There used to be a build-tools mailing list but it doesn't exist and could only find these new group/mailing lists. Can someone help? Is there a way to get more details on what it doesn't like? Do I have to do something different now that the LIBC stuff is split up to their own folder? TIA!!
