I imagine some will use this approach to prevent patch rejections once a build server is in place to check patches before acceptance. I didn't suggest it because Windows is my primary OS, and I have never actually run an EDK2 build using Linux + wine + DDK. ]> build.exe -p D:\edk2build\edk2\OvmfPkg\OvmfPkgX64.dsc -b DEBUG -t DDK3790 -n 16 -a X64 -]DSECURE_BOOT_ENABLE -DFD_SIZE_2MB ]> OvmfPkg\Library\XenHypercallLib\X86XenHypercall.c(38) : warning C4244: 'return' : conversion from 'int' ]to 'BOOLEAN', possible loss of data ]> This fail occurs only for DDK3790 and VS2005.

DDK3790 should be dropped and replaced by DDK7600. When you pointed out the possibility of using DDK7600 a while back, I tried it and it worked perfectly. The DDK7600 compiler is 5 years newer than the DDK3790 compiler. I could submit a patch, though I have an outstanding GCC5 patch that I would like to see go through first. ]See the discussion on the list last September: ]http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.bios.tianocore.devel/9846/focus=9892 ]-- ] ] Brian J.
