compiling on native aarch64 host

[stefan2225]

Hello,

I tried to compile this on an aarch64 host but I get some errors I can't seem to resolve. Seems like many other people have this issue but with compiling edk2 for an x86_64 host. Would be nice if you can tell me what I did wrong (I attached the log to this issue).

Thanks,
Stefan.

This has nothing to do with an AArch64 host. You’re missing uuid-dev or whatever package providing libuuid lib/headers on your system. '/home/******/git/edk2/BaseTools/Source/C/GenFv' gcc -o ../bin/GenFv GenFv.o GenFvInternalLib.o -L../libs -lCommon -luuid /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -luuid collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [../Makefiles/app.makefile:24: A

Weird, I have installed uuid-dev both on my normal pc and on the aarch64 host but It only compiled on my normal pc. sorry

Btw edk2 build only works on little endian hosts. Just in case you decide to try aarch64be... A

Okay, I just ran lscpu on it and it tells me that it's little endian..

Maybe it is something with the kernel, since it's mainline..?

I'm confused about your question. Your compilation issues stem from the build system not finding libuuid. A

Yes, but I mean that I have them already installed

No, I get a error message instead:

I'll try reinstalling the libuuid packages.
