Hello,
I am trying to change my top-level FDF file layout by conditionally including
an FDF depending on a build time define being passed or not. The behavior I am
seeing is as follows.
1. I am passing the build time define and the included fdf.inc file gets
included.
2. I am not passing the build time define and the included fdf.inc file
still gets included apparently.
* However, there is a strange behavior which is that in the conditional
block if I have anything else other than the !include statement, it gets
ignored.
* But if there is a !include statement inside a conditional (which
should fail) the include statement is still processed.
Conditional statement in top-level fdf is:
!ifdef $(BUILD_PLATFORM_XYZ)
!include Platform/NVIDIA/XYZ.fdf.inc
!endif
When we do not pass in -D BUILD_PLATFORM_XYZ during build,
Platform/NVIDIA/XYZ.fdf.inc file should not be included as it could be totally
absent as well. However, the build system tries to include the file and fails
with the following log.
(Python 3.5.2 on linux) Traceback (most recent call last):

GenFds.FdfParser.Warning: The include file does not exist under below
directories:
<Here it lists the root diectories included in the build>.
<Here it lists the line and column number of top level fdf file which has
include statement for Platform/NVIDIA/XYZ.fdf.inc but under a conditional as
mentioned above.
Any help getting around this if you think I am checking for the conditional
incorrectly or checking the build script for a potential bug would be highly
appreciated.
Thanks
