[edk2] SCT build error

[Meenakshi Aggarwal]

Hi All,


I am trying to build SCT and facing following error:


": error 7000: Failed to start command

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Vc\bin\nmake.exe /no logo tbuild [c:\test\Build\UefiSct\DEBUG_VS2013x86\X64\EdkCompatibilityPkg\Foundation\Efi\Protocol\EfiProtocolLib]
"

Any idea will be of great help.



Thanks & regards
Meenakshi Aggarwal

EDK2 does not use the usual environment variable method of locating
the Visual studio installation. Instead, it uses hard-coded paths
that are suitable for some machines and not suitable for others.
Build.exe is trying to launch:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\bin\nmake.exe
Does this file exist on your computer?

Thanks,
Scott

Hi Scott,

Following path exist on my computer:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\bin\nmake.exe"

i.e. without (x86) string.

What is the solution?
Which file needs to be changed?


Thanks
Meenakshi

Hi

I don't think you need to change any file. This can be done at the command
line you use to compile the project.
For example:

c:\UDK2014.SP1>edksetup.bat --nt32
c:\UDK2014.SP1>build -t VS2012

The second command will use VS2012 to compile it. The paths can be found
at the configuration files.

C:\UDK2014.SP1\Conf\tools_def.txt
C:\UDK2014.SP1\Conf\target.txt

There is a Really nice help of the build command too:

c:\UDK2014.SP1>edksetup.bat --nt32
c:\UDK2014.SP1>build -help

Thanks
Rafael R. Machado

I am wondering if it is the space in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Vc\bin\nmake.exe" that creates the confusion.

This command line might work better: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Vc\bin\nmake.exe" /no logo tbuild

Thank you all for help :)

I changed "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Vc\bin\nmake.exe" to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Vc\bin\nmake.exe"
And compilation proceeds further, still facing some issue.

Working on that.


Thanks
Meenakshi
