-

-This log file is used to record two kinds of important information:

- a) "Non-Compatible Changes": all non-compatible changes should be recorded. These info

-    will help the package user to merge this package; and some non-compatible changes

-    can also be added into release notes as news features when we release this package.

-    Normally Non-Compatible Changes contains the following types:

-      1) Package's external services were changed/updated

-      2) Package's common .h file is renamed, deleted, or the file path is changed.

-      3) The definition of package's common data structure is changed

-      ...

-

- b) "Important Compatible Changes": some important compatible changes can aslo be recorded

-    in this file, and we can add these updating into release notes when we release this

-    package.

-

-Non-Compatible and Compatible example format:

-           updated with the change in new build_rule.template.

-        2) The case of file path must be the same as in file system, or the build

-           will break.

-        2) Use "build -s" to pass "-s" switch to "make" tool to do silent "make".

-           To suppress all message from stdout, use "build -q" instead.

-        3) To get over the long command line limitation, use "@$(<FILE_TYPE>S_LIST)"

-           in the place of ${src} for those commands encountering such kind of

-           problem.

-

-EDK_7009: Non-Compatible: jwang36

-

-==========================================================================================

-EDK_6930: Non-Compatible: jwang36

-

-      Class_BuildTool:

-        1) Separate the AutoGen code for PCDs between module and its library instances.

-           in AutoGen.c. This is intended to catch missed PCDs in inf file more easily.

-        2) For better compatibile between C standards or C compiler, add type cast for

-           PCD constants in AutoGen.h according to the PCD datum type.

-           and occasionally they are declared in the library instances, there must be

-           a build break. Adding necessary PCDs declarations in the module's inf file

-           will solve it.

-        2) BaseTools/Bin/Win32/GenFds.exe

-

-        Possible Impacts:

-           declared or have no library instance for some library classes, must be

-

-      Class_BuildTool:

-        1) Removed the calling of vsvars32.bat in edksetup.bat, unless

-           "--nt32" switch is used.

-        2) Added MAKE command in tools_def.txt. This is used to locate where

-           the nmake.exe or make.exe is because it will not be in PATH any more.

-        3) Removed the calling of vsvars32.bat in toolsetup.bat.

-        4) Solved the hang issue of build.exe when error occurred or Ctrl+C is

-           pressed.

-        5) Passed "-v/-d/-q" command line option to GenFds.exe in makefile if

-           it's used by build.exe.

-

-        Code Change :

-        1) BaseTools/Bin/Win32/build.exe

-        2) BaseTools/Bin/Win32/GenFds.exe

-        3) BaseTools/Conf/tools_def.template

-        4) BaseTools/toolsetup.bat

-        5) edksetup.bat

-

-        Possible Impacts:

-        1) Nt32Pkg build needs to run vsvars32.bat before edksetup.bat or run

-           edksetup.bat with "--nt32" option, like

-

-           edksetup.bat --nt32 newbuild

-

-        2) $(WORKSPACE)/Conf/tools_def.txt must be deleted before running

-           edksetup.bat because of new tools_def.template. Otherwise the

-           build.exe cannot find the nmake.exe to call.

-

-        Possible Impacts:

-        1) To generate Apriori file in FV, insert APRIORI statement just before the INF or

-        FILE statement list of the FV, For example:

-        APRIORI PEI {

-          INF  MdeModulePkg/Universal/PCD/Pei/Pcd.inf

-          FILE PEIM = B7A5041A-78BA-49e3-B73B-54C757811FB6 {

-          }

-          INF  IntelFrameworkModulePkg/Universal/StatusCode/Pei/PeiStatusCode.inf

-        }

-        2) To add binary file described by INF file into FV, only insert the INF statement

-        into the INF statements list of that FV, like this:

-

-        INF RuleOverride=Test MdeModulePkg/Logo/Logo.inf

-

-        Specifying how to process the binary file by defining corresponding Rule like this:

-        [Rule.Common.Base.Test]

-         FILE FREEFORM = $(NAMED_GUID) {

-           COMPRESS PI_STD {
