Liming,
The MSVC is required only because the Windows SDK Universal C runtime (UCRT)
library depends on the MSVC. Please see the dependency description here: “When
you install Visual C++, Visual Studio setup installs the subset of the Windows
10 SDK required to use the UCRT.”
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/c-runtime-library/crt-library-features?view=msvc-160.
If the MSVC is not installed, the ucrt will complain cannot find the msvc
header files. Below is an example:
C:\Program Files\LLVM\bin\clang -c -I .. -I ../Include/Common -I ../Include/
-I ../Include/IndustryStandard -I ../Common/ -I .. -I . -I ../Include/X64/ -I
"" -MD -fshort-wchar -fno-strict-aliasing -fwrapv
-fno-delete-null-pointer-checks -Wall -Werror -Wno-deprecated-declarations
-Wno-self-assign -Wno-unused-result -nostdlib -Wno-unused-function -g -m32 -O2
BasePeCoff.c -o BasePeCoff.o

BTW, the compiler dependency requirement also exists in Linux side. Below is
the Linux GCC CRT library example. Although I build with clang, it still needs
link the crt libraries in GCC installation. Below is an example:
$ /home/jshi19/llvm/clang+llvm-11.0.0-x86_64-linux-gnu-ubuntu-20.04/bin/clang

Yuqi:
On Windows, can Clang + make combination drop the dependency of Visual studio?
If I don’t install Visual studio 2015 or 2017, I only install LLVM, can I fully
compile BaseTools and Edk2 code?
Thanks

Hi,
I want to push my change to my codes to edk2-staging, yet it seems like I don’t
have permission to do so:
[cid:[email protected]]
My mentor and I have enabled edk2 building using llvm+make and gnumake+clang in
windows command prompt. The attached patch indicates changes we made to make
this happen.
I also attach the readme file to go through the steps to build Basetools.
Please review our codes and thank you very much for your time.
Best regards,
Yuqi
