OK Building went well to a certain point. I successfully git cloned. I built the BaseTools.
I (seemingly successfully) setup the build shell environment. (I got no errors.) In the target conf file I chose "IA32 X64" and ELFGCC (since I habe gcc 7.3.0 installed). When I type "build", there comes an error like "Command build not found". I thought that maybe it's because of the shell environment variable $PATH. $PATH does NOT contain the edk2 source directory in any way (despite the fact that I entered "export EDK_TOOLS_PATH..."). What can I do?
