I am very new to uefi dev and trying to understand how the environment needs to
be setup to bring up the uefi shell.
My current environment is:win 7 pro 64bitvs studio express 2013 for desktopedk2
The edk2 binaries are in the f:\ folder. I have modified target_arch &
toolchain to reflect my build platforms. That said I have tried x64 as my
target_arch too.
I like to think that I have set up the environment correctly (after ironing
other errors) but when I do a build from vs2013 command line (and also from x64
command line) I get the following error for which I cannot seem to find a
resolution:
f:\edk2\MdeModulePkg\Library\UefiHiiLib\HiiString.c(253) : error C2220:

I read somewhere that the winsdk needs to change from the default v6.0a to one
that suits your vs studio. I changed that to v8.0a to no effect.
Following the guide from edk2 I set my active_platform to be
MdeModulePkg/MdeModulePkg.dsc. I have seen other people using Nt32Pkg. I have
tried that as well. What is the difference and why must we chose one over the
other.
I will appreciate your assistance.
Thanks,Tony
