How to compile OvmfPkg of TianoCore's EDK II on Debian:
- sudo apt install build-essential gcc git iasl nasm uuid-dev
- mkdir ~/src; cd ~/src
- git clone https://github.com/tianocore/edk2; cd edk2 (compilation issues concerning brotli have been fixed with pull #2514)
- git submodule update --init
- make -C BaseTools
- . edksetup.sh
- Edit ./Conf/target.txt:
ACTIVE_PLATFORM = OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgX64.dsc
TARGET = RELEASE
TARGET_ARCH = X64
TOOL_CHAIN_TAG = GCC5 - build (to compile with Secure Boot enabled, append -D SECURE_BOOT_ENABLE - though it doesn't seem to work without manually adding keys to OVMF_VARS.fd)
- FD located in ./Build/OvmfPkg/RELEASE_GCC5/FV
(This is more of a reference for myself than anything else.)
