Hi Everyone, and thank you all for the answers.
Andrew
My idea was to be able to save my application in svn or git, without need
to save udk too.
So everyone would be able to have udk in any directory and the application
in another directory, for example c:/user/CompanyProjects/UEFIProject1
Rod
I'll take a look at you project and understand how do you use makefiles for
this idea. Thanks a lot.
