Dear developers, Sadly I do not have much time right now, so I am writing this in a little hurry. Today I have been evaluating Microsoft’s new Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) on Windows 10, including building with EDK2. For this purpose, I installed:
- Git (Version 2.8.1) - GCC (Version 5), build-essential etc. - Python (Version 2.7.11) For those who did not hear about the WSL yet: It is a subsystem to provide a Linux-compatible Interface on Windows. The Ubuntu user mode runs on top of that – unchanged, according to Microsoft (they use the Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Cloud Image). Running make on BaseTools worked fine and all tests were passed successfully. Though, when attempting to build any package, it quickly fails without even invoking any compiler. I attached the complete error log below, including a follow-up ‚git status‘ command to verify the work tree is clean. The tree is up-to-date as of the time of writing (commit 4a392a451d4d475f9950a599395b06d6785d5134). I do not know when I will have the time to set up a Ubuntu box or Virtual Machine to test this environment outside of Microsoft’s unproven subsystem, but I will report back as soon as I know more. Meanwhile, I would be really greatful if somebody firm in the BaseTools Python code (I unfortunately never learned Python) could have a look at what could cause the issue. Even though the subsystem is still in an early stage, at least for me, it would be a great aid to have it available, so code changes can be verified against MSVC, GCC and Clang on the same machine without switching environments. Thank you very much for your time!
