It seems like this is happening because in FdfParser.py, include files are processed before processing the conditional statements. I think this is being done so that all defines (even from the included files) can be accounted for before processing any conditionals. This seems to be a valid flow from pre-processing perspective, although this leaves out the use case where a file may be conditionally included.
Bob/Liming, For now, I have fixed the issue by changing my conditional include to be the following: In top-level FDF: !ifdef $(BUILD_PLATFORM_XYZ) $(INCLUDE_XYZ_FDF) !endif In top-level DSC: !ifdef $(BUILD_PLATFORM_XYZ) INCLUDE_XYZ_FDF = !include Platform/NVIDIA/XYZ.fdf.inc !endif Please suggest me if there is a batter way of working around this issue.
