Scott: If the ELF object format is generated, the linked image is ELF image or PE image? If the image is ELF format, it is required to be converted to PE image. BaseTools GenFw tool will be responsible for it.
Besides, I have another question on how to do source level debug with MINGW tool chain.

Hello Liming, Bad news and good news. The bad news is the code generated by MINGW is much bigger than that of native linux gcc. The reason is this gnu linker bug/limitation: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11539 When the COFF object format used by MINGW is linked, the linker is unable to pull individual functions from a library. Instead, the whole library is linked in. The result is a lot of dead code in the final image. Because the issue was reported years ago, it seems unlikely it will be fixed any time soon. The good news is that there is a solution for this problem that solves most of the other problems with running gcc builds of EDK2 on Windows. Here are the problems with MINGW I know of: 1) Image is big due to dead library code in final image. 2) Default calling convention is different. This makes MINGW code generation differ from gcc-linux code generation. 3) MINGW sizeof long differs from gnu-linux size of long, resulting in more code generation differences. 4) Gcc linker plug-in for link time code generation is not yet available for Windows. The first 3 problems can be solved by building a gcc tool chain that runs on Windows, but targets Linux rather than Windows. This gcc reports "Target: x86_64-linux-gnu", just like a native Linux gcc. It generates ELF object format, so it is unaffected by ld bug 11539. It uses the same calling conventions and LP64 data model as Linux, so the code generation should match. Problem 4) is not solved, but that is not an issue today because EDK2 doesn't yet use gcc link time optimization. I have documented how to build from this tool chain from scratch on Windows 7. It is a Windows hosted gcc 4.9.1 targeting x86_64-linux-gnu. It is a drop-in replacement for MINGW when used as an EDK2 tool chain. It can be built as 32-bit executables or 64-bit executables. There is a problem with ar.exe in the 64-bit build, so I am using the 32-bit build at the moment. I will send an experimental patch as well as build instructions and binaries in a couple of days. I think this will end up being the preferred way to make gcc builds of EDK2 using Windows. Thanks, Scott ] For Nasm issue in BaseLib, MINGW output is COFF format. So, NASM_FLAGS should be -f win32 and -f win64. I just ]try them and pass build. ] ] For tool_def.txt, on MAKE and RC path, could we directly use make and objcopy from MINGW like the native GCC ]tool chain? If so, MINGW is a standalone tool chain. ]+*_MINGW_*_MAKE_PATH = ENV(MS_MISC_BIN)\nmake.exe ]+*_MINGW_IA32_RC_PATH = ENV(MS_MISC_BIN)\rc.exe ] ]Thanks ]Liming -----Original Message----- From: Scott Duplichan [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, October 04, 2014 11:42 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [edk2] BaseTools: Add MINGW tool chain Nikolai Saoukh [mailto:[email protected]] wrote: ]I was under impression that mingw-win64 can be used for X64 AND IA32 builds. You are right. Thanks for pointing that out. The revised email and patch follows. I also added the requirement for an environment variable pointing to Microsoft nmake.exe and rc.exe. Still needed is nasm.exe and iasl.exe, but these work the same as with Microsoft tool chains. -- Here is a work in progress patch for those building X64 or IA32 targets from Windows. It allows building with gcc instead of a Microsoft compiler. Building has been tested with Windows 7 x64 using MINGW archives from http://www.drangon.org/mingw/ or http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64-dgn/files/mingw-w64/ Unpack mingw-w64-bin-x86_64-20140425.7z and set environment variable MINGW64 to its path. Also set environment variable MINGW32 to its path. Set environment variable MS_MISC_BIN to a directory containing Microsoft nmake.exe and rc.exe. For example, the bin\x86 directory of DDK-7600: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=11800. Apply the patch then build using -t MINGW. It's that easy. No unix shell port is involved. Just build from a cmd.exe prompt as normal. Because mingw requires no install or setup, your registry, path and other environment variables are unaffected. The MINGW port of gcc brings C99 support to those using Windows to develop EDK2 code. Wouldn't it be nice if one day UEFI could drop support for non-C99 compilers so that C99 features could be used in the code? There is actually a lot of work to be done before gcc could replace Microsoft tools. One problem is that some UEFI source level debuggers understand only Microsoft debug information. Another problem is that right now gcc is producing bigger code. Getting gcc link time optimization working may solve this problem. Build speed with MINGW is not quite as fast as with Microsoft tools, but it is reasonable. For example, a test of 18 builds that takes 523 seconds using VS2008 takes 694 seconds using MINGW.
