I would also suggest checking out the
MdeModulePkg\Universal\HiiResourcesSampleDxe example for Publishing HII package
list to HII Database

Subject: Re: [edk2] Issues while building the driver through udk
Thanks Tim, I had it set to TRUE. After the change I am able to get the .C
files. Could you please let me know whether using the DriverSampleDxe as an
example is right thing and calling HiiAddPackages is right thing to do or
should I need to use LoadImage and use HandleProtocol and NewPackageList?
Basically I want to understand whether I am still using the IfrCompatible or
the method I am following is right?
Thanks

Do you have UEFI_HII_RESOURCE_SECTION = TRUE in your INF? If so, you
will get the .hpk files (as I saw in your error message). If you remove it, you
will get the .C files

Tim,
Thanks for the pointers. I am referring the DriverSampleDxe from
MdeModulePkg\Universal\DriverSampleDxe and calling HiiAddPackages to install
the vfr binaries. And I have seen the vfr.c files are getting generated in it.
Am I going in a wrong direction?
Thanks

Sathya -
In a true UEFI build, there is no vfr.c. Please see the description of how HII
resources are handled in the LoadImage() description from the UEFI
specification. In the case you are seeing, the individual packages are
generated as .hpk files (HII Packages), combined together into HII package
lists by GenFw and then inserted directly into the .efi as a resource (like
Windows dialog boxes, etc.). When LoadImage() is called, that resource is found
and a pointer to it installed on the same image handle as the loaded image
protocol. To use the resources, you simply use HandleProtocol() on the image
handle with the GUID and then call NewPackageList()

Tim,
I have commented that out and with that I am able to proceed a step ahead. But
I am seeing another problem, I couldn't see the VFR.c is not getting generated
after vfrcompile. The vfrcompile didn't return any error, at the end while
linking I get unresolved symbol for formsbin.
I keep the files in a hierarchical folder (like rootdir\HII\Inc\*.vfr) does it
cause any issue?
Thanks

Sathya -
Looks like you are right. The GenFw tool has an artificial limit on the number
of form packages.
if (NumberOfFormPacakge > 1) {
Error (NULL, 0, 3000, "Invalid", "The input hii packages contains more
than one hii form package");
goto Finish;
}
Don't see any reason why this should be done.

Andrew,
Thanks for the response.
WRT the build error, I am using same build and build clean, means the
Conf/Target.txt values are taken (no commandline build arguments).
I have another question, Cant we have two form package. I have two VFRs and one
UNI in my HII source directory and I install two formsets for two different
purpose. This was working perfectly in my EDK1 with separate vfrcompile. But
I am hitting the below mentioned error with the same set of files, is there a
way I can workaround or solve this?

Folks,
I have tried to build my driver using udk2010 (so far we are using EDK 1.6). I
am able to setup the build environment and able to build the module once
successfully.
But when I want to rebuild again, I have executed the command "build clean" and
then the next build command resulted in the error below
build...
: error 0001: File open failure
c:\udk2010sr1ddk\Build\MdeModule\RELEASE_MYTOOLS\X64\MdePkg\Library\BasePcdLibNull\BasePcdLibNull\OUTPUT\BasePcdLibNull.lib

Is your clean command symmetric with your build. If you don't pass arguments
they default from the Conf/target.txt file? If they are different then paths
can be different in the build result directory.
Also I have .uni file and I have included the strdef.h in the headers, but I
see error because the .uni seems not build and the strdef.h is not created (I
have kept the .uni prior to the c file in .inf)
It works differently in the edk2, you don't need to add the #include as it gets
added in the AutoGen.h that is forced included into your driver.
For an example look at
https://edk2.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/edk2/trunk/edk2/MdeModulePkg/Universal/DriverSampleDxe/

Andrew Fish
