Only for EDK2 library, which we find there: https://github.com/tianocore/edk2 (do you have another name for it ?) > Also, I hope you're aware that edk2 / OVMF is not free software.

Anyway, it's good to be aware of the FAT status.) Thank you, I was not aware of this specific FAT license. Anyway, you're right in saying that I do not distribute EDK2, only the ebuild in which there are instructions to download it directly from SourceForge. > > This ebuild transforms a little bit the > > installation > > How so? > > > in order to be able to use the product as is generally used a > > library in Linux. > > I don't understand what this means. It is modified to use the usual linux tool chain, without calling the specific EDK2 tools (parsing tools). For example, libraries are renamed from LibraryName.lib to libLibraryName.a so they can be directly called by linker using their name. Files are dispatched along the directory structure where they should be (libraries, headers, documents, samples and GenFw in the binary directory). > > Samples are also modified. > > What samples? HelloWorld.efi and other ones we have in MdeModulePkg/Application Regards, Stéphane. _______________________________________________ edk2-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.01.org/mailman/listinfo/edk2-devel
