A Word on GCC tool chain
------------------------
You will find a script in the tree that will download, configure, compile, and
install a gcc 4.0.2 tool chain for development. It has support for the ia32
architecture. It can be built and run on Cygwin, Linux, and many other POSIX
compliant host environments. There are a few tools that you will need on your
host computer in order to compile the tool chain. Among them are bash, gcc,
gmake, curl (or wget).
EDK2 will not compile with a standard Linux gcc tool chain. While Linux
distributions are usually based on ELF, EDK2 requires a version of gcc that is
configured to produce PE-COFF images. You will find a script in edk2/Tools/gcc
that will download, configure, compile, and install a gcc 4.X cross-compile
tool chain for EDK2 development. It has support for the ia32 architecture. It
can be built and run on Cygwin, Linux, and many other POSIX compliant host
operating environments. There are a few tools that you will need on your host
computer in order to compile the tool chain. Among them are bash, gcc, gmake,
curl (or wget).
