go to directory which must be not a module's directory, and run "build" command.

Tools in Python
---------------
* Run buld tool written in Python from source
The build tool written in Python can be executed from its source directly as long as you
have the Python interpreter (version 2.5) installed. The source of Python code is locating at
https://buildtools.tianocore.org/svn/buildtools/trunk/BaseTools/Source/Python
where:
MyBuild.py - The temporary "build" tool from which the "build.exe" is coming
AutoGen.py - Generate AutoGen.c/.h and makefile only
"MyBuild.py" steps:
1. Run "edksetup.bat newbuild"
2. Set ACTIVE_PLATFORM in WORKSPACE\Conf
3. Go to platform or module directory
4. Run "<python_interpreter.exe> <python_source_dir>\MyBuild.py" or "<python_source_dir>\MyBuild.py"
directly.
"AutoGen.py" steps:
1. Run "edksetup.bat newbuild"
2. Set ACTIVE_PLATFORM in WORKSPACE\Conf
4. Run "<python_interpreter.exe> <python_source_dir>\AutoGen.py" or "<python_source_dir>\AutoGen.py"
* Convert Python source to exe file
The tools written in Python can be coverted into executable program which can be executed
without Python interpreter. One of the convertion tools is called cx_Freeze at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/cx-freeze/
Suppose you have installed cx_Freeze at c:\cx_Freeze-3.0.3. Use following command line to convert MyBuild.py
c:\cx_Freeze-3.0.3\FreezePython.exe --include-modules=encodings.cp437,encodings.gbk --install-dir=.\mybuild MyBuild.py
The generated .exe files are put in "mybuild" subdirectory.
