Greetings,
I have an application package that uses the
ConvertDevicePathToText/ConvertTextToDevicePath functions of the
EFI_DEVICE_PATH_TO_TEXT_PROTOCOL/EFI_DEVICE_PATH_FROM_TEXT_PROTOCOL
respectively. It was found that UEFI bioses in the wild frequently do not
include these protocols. If the first iteration of the app the solution was
to use a shell script to run the app which loaded the DevicePathDxe to make
these protocols available. This was deemed a problematic implementation.
The solution was to copy the relevant files in
MdeModulePkg/Universal/DevicePathDxe/ into that app's package and build the
needed functions into the app. This works but it means duplicated code
outside of the EDK2 tree which is a nuisance. Really, all that is needed is
to simply link to the need object files in
MdeModulePkg/Universal/DevicePathDxe/. My problem is that I have not found
a way to do this with build. I have included MdeModulePkg/MdeModulePkg.dec
in the [Packages] section of the app .inf file. However, I don't see a way
to instruct build to make
MdeModulePkg/Universal/DevicePathDxe/.DevicePath.h part of the include path
so I can simply statically link against the EDK2 library. Can this be done
with build?
TIA!
