Hello.

I've been trying to build UEFI-SCT following these instructions https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-test/blob/master/uefi-sct/HowToBuild/How%20to%20build%20SCT%20in%20UDK2017.txt on linux Debian 10, using the latest edk2 available, also tried to build over vudk2017 https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/releases/tag/vUDK2017 , but it stops in this kind of error:
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Could not build the UEFI SCT package

Is there any currently known impediment to build UEFI-SCT in the linux environment or some other important details I'm missing? I appreciate any help.

Agreed -- the SCT build method is both untested with GCC and
significantly out of date esp. with regard to the multiple workspace
feature (PACKAGES_PATH, to be specific). I tried building SCT myself a
few weeks ago; it was very under-documented, and what I managed to
understand anyway indicated it had no support for PACKAGES_PATH.

Some of the edk2 platforms too are clearly never built with GCC.
