Hi, we're trying to package the edk2 Build Tools for Fedora 20, which now includes ARM. We've run into problems -- the report is in [1].
After checking [2] and [3], I thought I should ask here some basic questions. Q1: which of the following configurations are supported? ARCH1: ARCH2: ARCH3: BuildTools BuildTools BuildTools compile are built on run on UEFI code for ------------ ------------- ------------------ a) x86_64 Fedora x86_64 Fedora ARM b) x86_64 Fedora ARM Fedora ARM c) ARM Fedora ARM Fedora ARM (I'm aware that "ARM" covers about a gazillion platforms, let's ignore that for a second.) Q2: Assuming (a) and/or (b) are supported, what cross compiler should we use? (Under (a), we need to cross-compile UEFI code; under (b), we need to cross-compile BuildTools themselves). Article [3] suggests ARMGCC or ARMLINUXGCC -- are their source codes available somewhere? (We may have x86_64-to-ARM cross-gcc in Fedora, but I'm not very active in Fedora so I don't know. In any case the "eabi" part seems, ugh, somewhat "rare".) Q3: [2] and [3] seem to suggest (a), with the additional requirement that the cross compiler be available even when building *only* the host BuildTools binaries. It's as if we needed the tools for ARCH2->ARCH3 cross compilation available even when we're only building BuildTools themselves, on the host, for the host (ie. ARCH1=ARCH2). Is this observation correct?
