Ard Biesheuvel f8d0b96629 BaseTools GCC5: disable warnings-as-errors for now
GCC5 runs in LTO mode, which means it may generate code from an
intermediate representation during the link stage, at which time
additional diagnostics are run that may emit warnings.

Some of these warnings seem to be spurious, e.g., the following
warning which is emitted when building OVMF for IA32 or ArmVirtQemu
for ARM (but not for X64 resp. AARCH64)

  .../MdeModulePkg/Library/UefiHiiLib/HiiLib.c:
                 In function 'HiiCreateGuidOpCode.constprop':
  .../MdeModulePkg/Library/UefiHiiLib/HiiLib.c:3228:10:
                 error: function may return address of local variable
                                            [-Werror=return-local-addr]
     return (UINT8 *)OpCodePointer;
            ^
  .../MdeModulePkg/Library/UefiHiiLib/HiiLib.c:3208:17: note: declared here
     EFI_IFR_GUID  OpCode;
                   ^
  lto1: all warnings being treated as errors
  lto-wrapper: fatal error: gcc returned 1 exit status

So before adding the contents of CC_FLAGS to the linker command line,
defuse the default '-Werror' by adding '-Wno-error' to DLINK2_FLAGS
for GCC5.

This directory contains the next generation of EDK II build tools and template files.
Templates are located in the Conf directory, while the tools executables for
Microsoft Windows 32-bit Operating Systems are located in the Bin\Win32 directory, other 
directory contatins tools source.

1. Build step to generate the binary tools.

=== Windows/Visual Studio Notes ===

To build the BaseTools, you should run the standard vsvars32.bat script
from your preferred Visual Studio installation or you can run get_vsvars.bat
to use latest automatically detected version.

In addition to this, you should set the following environment variables:

 * EDK_TOOLS_PATH - Path to the BaseTools sub directory under the edk2 tree
 * BASE_TOOLS_PATH - The directory where the BaseTools source is located.
   (It is the same directory where this README.txt is located.)
 * PYTHON_FREEZER_PATH - Path to where the python freezer tool is installed

After this, you can run the toolsetup.bat file, which is in the same
directory as this file.  It should setup the remainder of the environment,
and build the tools if necessary.

Please also refer to the 'BuildNotes.txt' file for more information on
building under Windows.

=== Unix-like operating systems ===

To build on Unix-like operating systems, you only need to type 'make' in
the base directory of the project.

=== Ubuntu Notes ===

On Ubuntu, the following command should install all the necessary build
packages to build all the C BaseTools:

  sudo apt-get install build-essential uuid-dev

=== Python sqlite3 module ===
On Windows, the cx_freeze will not copy the sqlite3.dll to the frozen 
binary directory (the same directory as build.exe and GenFds.exe). 
Please copy it manually from <PythonHome>\DLLs.

The Python distributed with most recent Linux will have sqlite3 module
built in. If not, please install sqlit3 package separately.
