Hi Bob,
Responses to your questions:
1. Yes, PlatformBuild.py could be seen as a template for a
relatively-simple, Pytools platform builder. I am also working on a more
complex example for the Edk2-Platforms Kabylake RVP to demonstrate FSP and FIT
related pre and post build steps. The filename PlatformBuild.py is not
required, just a convention that we follow. Any Python that overrides
UefiBuilder, BuildSettingsManager, UpdateSettingsManager, &
SetupSettingsManager would work. You might view PlatformBuild.py as an
extension of the EDK2 build system that provides features helpful to build a
platform. Observe that both OvmfPkg and EmulatorPkg include build.sh scripts
that provide some pre and post build convenience features. Regarding
MdeModulePkg, the Pytools Platform or UefiBuilder could build it, but might not
provide compelling value. Instead, we are leveraging our Pytools CI features
to build & test MdeModulePkg and more:
* https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/tree/master/.pytool
*
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/MdeModulePkg/MdeModulePkg.ci.yaml
2. For the build environment, I believe we start with the current shell
environment, add Conf/target.txt, override with environment set in
PlatformBuild.py, then the command-line. @Sean
Brogan<mailto:sean.bro...@microsoft.com> & @Matthew
Carlson<mailto:mac...@microsoft.com> for more details.
3. I am working on an example of building KabylakeOpenBoardPackage
https://github.com/out0xb2/edk2-platforms/pull/2 . Custom pre and post build
steps for a platform can be handled in a PlatformBuild.py, for a family they
could be in a FamilyBuild.py that is !included in multiple PlatformBuild.py, or
common functionality could be pushed into plug-ins. I demonstrate the plug-in
model in the Intel Silicon Tools.
4. Hmm, I would ask @Sean Brogan<mailto:sean.bro...@microsoft.com> &
@Matthew Carlson<mailto:mac...@microsoft.com>
5. We do not currently support VS 2015, only 2017 and 2019. I’m hearing an
ask that we should document our matrix of supported OS/toolchains.
* We have not added support for VS 2015
* We would need more details to debug this one, perhaps provide
Build\BUILDLOG.txt ?
* Again, more details are needed, likely available in
Build\UPDATE_LOG.txt ?
i. We have
GCC working for Ubuntu in our automation:
https://dev.azure.com/tianocore/edk2-ci/_build?definitionId=31&_a=summary
If there is a good time early morning or later afternoon for a Skype call and
screen sharing, we might be able to close on these issues faster. Let me know
if you have suggestions.
Thanks,
Jeremiah

Subject: [EXTERNAL] RE: [edk2-devel] Seeking feedback: example of building
OvmfPkg with Pytools
Hi Jeremiah,
I have some questions for this change.
1. Will there be a PlatformBuild.py in any platform as your design? For example
there will be a PlatformBuild.py in MdeModulePkg, EmulatorPkg and etc. And this
PlatformBuild.py can be seen as a template?
2. The original build options can be set either from PlatformBuild.py
CommonPlatform class or set from command line, is it right?
3. There is another build scripts edk2-platforms\Platform\Intel\build_bios.py
for build Min-Platforms. Can PlatformBuild.py work together with it?
4. Dose the pytools support clang on windows?
5. I tried this patch on my local machines, but build failed with pytools and
your change.
1) One windows machine only installed VS2015, vswhere can't detect VS2015.
2) Another windows machine installed VS2015 and VS2017, vswhere can find
VS2017, but build failed with the messages
build.py...
INFO - : error 7000: Failed to execute command
INFO - Vc\bin\nmake.exe
3) I have a Ubuntu 18.04 machine, build failed at the step of "stuart_update -c
OvmfPkg/PlatformBuild.py" with the error messages:
File
"/home/bobfeng/PythonVenv1/lib/python3.6/site-packages/edk2toolext/environment/extdeptypes/nuget_dependency.py",
line 180, in fetch
if self._fetch_from_cache(package_name):
File
"/home/bobfeng/PythonVenv1/lib/python3.6/site-packages/edk2toolext/environment/extdeptypes/nuget_dependency.py",
line 113, in _fetch_from_cache
if not os.path.isdir(NugetDependency.global_cache_path):
File "/usr/lib/python3.6/genericpath.py", line 42, in isdir
st = os.stat(s)
Thanks,
Bob

This patch set seems to target the edk2 repository, and at least in part
OvmfPkg. Please submit the patch set to the list for review.
Thanks
