This is rather subjective and dependent upon your own needs. Personally, I'm most familiar with Unix-style development with make. Also, I wanted rEFInd to be compilable in a way that would facilitate inclusion in Linux distributions, and that definitely means building it outside of the TianoCore directory tree. In practice, the path of least resistance for Linux distributions will be to use GNU-EFI, but that means sacrificing one feature. IMHO, it's notable that every EFI project with close ties to Linux builds with GNU-EFI rather than with TianoCore; AFAIK, only rEFInd offers a TianoCore build option. When I first started with this, it took me a while to get used to the TianoCore build model, so there was a pretty big learning curve there, and I wouldn't even say I've mastered it at this point. That said, I agree that if you're used to the TianoCore style (which I ASSUME comes from a Microsoft/Windows model), building in-tree is the quickest way to get started. Likewise, if you want to wrap something up in a firmware, I imagine that building in-tree makes the most sense. Would documentation on a make-style approach be a welcome addition to the project? If so, I could probably write something up that would help people get started on that way of building with TianoCore. > -----Original Message----- From: Rod Smith > [mailto:rodsm...@rodsbooks.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2013 > 1:49 PM To: edk2-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [edk2] UEFI > Compilation dorectory > > On 01/30/2013 06:23 AM, Rafael Machado wrote: >> Hi everyone I have a doubt about how to compile an uefi application >> in a directory that is not at the same directory as UDK.
