I agree that the "BUILDING OVMF" section in "OvmfPkg/README" is out of date. I think a bugzilla ticket would be justified. Personally, I wouldn't like to propose actual patches, for improving this part of "OvmfPkg/README". For me, the best way for building OVMF has always been to write my own build scripts. In our downstream edk2 repositories at Red Hat, I provide a text file with detailed commands that basically amount to the same. I think that, technically speaking, the same could work for the "OvmfPkg/README" file too. But my understanding is that many in the upstream community dislike this approach -- many people prefer "OvmfPkg/build.sh" instead (which I never use -- it *is* a build script alright, but it's quite different from what I use). "OvmfPkg/README" does mention "OvmfPkg/build.sh" in the "Build Scripts" section. So maybe "OvmfPkg/build.sh" should be patched, to verify that the OpenSSL submodule has been initialized. That could be another BZ (or another patch in the series for the same BZ). Thanks Laszlo -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
