NOTE: To build all projects from https://github.com/KilianKegel the tools below are absolutely needed
- NASM
- ASL
- Windows 8.1 SDK (for EDK2020-MinnowBoard)
- FLEX/BISON (for the Visual-ACPICA-for-UEFI-Shell project)
NOTE: To avoid build failure due to incomplete installed or wrongly configured build machines,
upcoming and updated projects run their build tools within the project folder.
The build tools are installed and initialized when starting LAUNCH.BAT the first time.
Currently the tools listed below are in use:
- wget.exe, WGET to download missing tools at initial LAUNCH.BAT,
or manually via https://www.google.com/search?q=download+WGET+windows+binary - EnterpriseWDK_rs2_release_15063_20170317-1834.zip, Microsoft EWDK1703
- nasm-2.16.01-win64.zip, NASM assembler
- python-3.10.11-embed-win64.zip, PYTHON
- openssl-1.0.2r-x64_86-win64.zip, OPENSSL
- iasl-win-20230628.zip, Intel ASL compiler
- flex-2.5.4a-1-bin.zip, lexical analyser generator
- bison-2.4.1-bin.zip, parser generator
- libintl-0.14.4-bin.zip, support DLL for FLEX/BISON
- libiconv-1.9.2-1-bin.zip, support DLL for FLEX/BISON
- regex-2.7-bin.zip, support DLL for FLEX/BISON
To avoid multiple, lengthy downloads the original images can, optionally, downloaded once to each build machine and stored in a folder, that is assigned to an environment variable MYDOWNLOADS.
To do so, simply
- create a folder MYDOWNLOADS, e.g. run "cmd /c MD %USERPROFILE%\MYDOWNLOADS"
- windows-R -> control.exe -> User Accounts -> Change my environment variables
- create an environment variable MYDOWNLOADS, e.g. MYDOWNLOADS=%USERPROFILE%\MYDOWNLOADS:
- get
MediaCreationToolhttps://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2156295 and download Windows 11
or - get
MediaCreationToolhttps://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=691209 and download Windows 10
- Restore Classic (Full) Context Menu in Windows
run in command prompt window:

Windows 8.1 SDK is provided in the Microsoft SDK archive at:
https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/sdk-archive,
or direct link:
https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=323507
NOTE: Windows 8.1 SDK is removed from VS2022, but still available with VS2017. VS2017 itself is not available
anymore for free.
NOTE: Windows 8.1 SDK is just needed to solve one single issue: Provide Ressource Compiler RC.EXE to EDK2 build process.
Environment variables WINSDK81x86_PREFIX and WINSDK81_PREFIX are in use in EDK2 build, and could be adjusted to use newer SDK too...
