Andrew:
Rule file has two styles. ?.c, or *.obj. ? is for single file, * is for all
files.
For your case, what's your output? Z.bin? If so, you can add rule for ?.xyz
to create .xyz2, then add rule for *.xyz2 to $(BASE_NAME).bin

EDKII build system bases on file postfix name to handle them. For new postfix
name, you may extend build_rule.txt file to add new rule for it.
I know that I can chain via names, but this does not solve issues with parallel
builds.
Lets say I have A.xyz, B.xyz and I have a rule that processes them into A.xyz2,
and B.xyz2, but now the output I wan't is Z.ABC. I don't know how to make Z
depend on A & B. Libraries do this by creating a makefile dependency and a list
of files. I can't figure out how to do this with the rules that exist. It seems
libraries are special cased in the Python code.
So the only way I can think to solve this is to include A.xzy and B.xyz into a
single file, and then use the standard build chaining. The parser I was using
was having issues with this, so I was thinking of another way to do it.
I figured out a simple way to fix my parser, but this was an interesting
limitation of the build system, due to not supporting customer makefiles, so I
thought I would post it to the list...

I'd like like to have an INF file that is full of *.XYZ files that get run
through the C pre-processor and converted to an intermediate form. I would like
to take set of intermediate files and post process them info a single .bin file
that will then end up in an FFS file.
What is the best way to do this with the edk2 build system.
Thanks,
Andrew Fish
