"You can solve every problem with another level of indirection, except for the problem of too many levels of indirection". So you could post process with a mv or preprocess the .dsc file, and restore it from a build script wrapper. > >> Instead of changing all the DSC files of EDK2, I would prefer to see a patch >> that changes the 'build' command to allow to overwrite the Build directory >> defined in the DSC file. > The build command already has a lot of options. I'm not sure adding an option is the right thing to do? (master)>build --help Usage: build.exe [options] [all|fds|genc|genmake|clean|cleanall|cleanlib|modules|libraries|run] Copyright (c) 2007 - 2010, Intel Corporation All rights reserved. Options: --version show program's version number and exit -h, --help show this help message and exit -a TARGETARCH, --arch=TARGETARCH ARCHS is one of list: IA32, X64, IPF, ARM or EBC, which overrides target.txt's TARGET_ARCH definition. To specify more archs, please repeat this option. -p PLATFORMFILE, --platform=PLATFORMFILE Build the platform specified by the DSC file name argument, overriding target.txt's ACTIVE_PLATFORM definition. -m MODULEFILE, --module=MODULEFILE Build the module specified by the INF file name argument. -b BUILDTARGET, --buildtarget=BUILDTARGET Using the TARGET to build the platform, overriding target.txt's TARGET definition. -t TOOLCHAIN, --tagname=TOOLCHAIN Using the Tool Chain Tagname to build the platform, overriding target.txt's TOOL_CHAIN_TAG definition. -x SKUID, --sku-id=SKUID Using this name of SKU ID to build the platform, overriding SKUID_IDENTIFIER in DSC file. -n THREADNUMBER Build the platform using multi-threaded compiler. The value overrides target.txt's MAX_CONCURRENT_THREAD_NUMBER. Less than 2 will disable multi-thread builds. -f FDFFILE, --fdf=FDFFILE The name of the FDF file to use, which overrides the setting in the DSC file. -r ROMIMAGE, --rom-image=ROMIMAGE The name of FD to be generated. The name must be from [FD] section in FDF file. -i FVIMAGE, --fv-image=FVIMAGE The name of FV to be generated. The name must be from [FV] section in FDF file. -C CAPNAME, --capsule-image=CAPNAME The name of Capsule to be generated. The name must be from [Capsule] section in FDF file. -u, --skip-autogen Skip AutoGen step. -e, --re-parse Re-parse all meta-data files. -c, --case-insensitive Don't check case of file name. -w, --warning-as-error Treat warning in tools as error. -j LOGFILE, --log=LOGFILE Put log in specified file as well as on console. -s, --silent Make use of silent mode of (n)make. -q, --quiet Disable all messages except FATAL ERRORS. -v, --verbose Turn on verbose output with informational messages printed, including library instances selected, final dependency expression, and warning messages, etc. -d DEBUG, --debug=DEBUG Enable debug messages at specified level. -D MACROS, --define=MACROS Macro: "Name [= Value]". -y REPORTFILE, --report-file=REPORTFILE Create/overwrite the report to the specified filename. -Y REPORTTYPE, --report-type=REPORTTYPE Flags that control the type of build report to generate. Must be one of: [PCD, LIBRARY, FLASH, DEPEX, BUILD_FLAGS, FIXED_ADDRESS, EXECUTION_ORDER]. To specify more than one flag, repeat this option on the command line and the default flag set is [PCD, LIBRARY, FLASH, DEPEX, BUILD_FLAGS, FIXED_ADDRESS] -F FLAG, --flag=FLAG Specify the specific option to parse EDK UNI file. Must be one of: [-c, -s]. -c is for EDK framework UNI file, and -s is for EDK UEFI UNI file. This option can also be specified by setting *_*_*_BUILD_FLAGS in [BuildOptions] section of platform DSC. If they are both specified, this value will override the setting in [BuildOptions] section of platform DSC. -N, --no-cache Disable build cache mechanism Thanks, Andrew Fish > That's a preferable option, although it would involve me hacking in > python - shudder ;-) > > I'll look into the build script if I get some time.
