Onderwerp: Re: [edk2] How to conditionally exclude a library?
 

Pike,

The [LibraryClasses] section implies that the driver consumes an API in the 
library. So you need to link an instance of the library. So in your serial 
example there is 
https://edk2.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/edk2/trunk/edk2/MdePkg/Library/BaseSerialPortLibNull/.
 

So what you would expect to see in the DSC file for your platform is a mapping 
to a SerialPortLib that matches your platform. If the platform does not support 
a serial port you point to the Null version of the library, otherwise you point 
to a serial port lib for your platform. 

In general the idea is you just edit your platform DSC file to port your 
platform.
