How to build (Ubuntu Environment)

Prerequisite

Install packages

apt-get update; apt-get install install gcc g++ make uuid-dev nasm

If the nasm installed above shows build error during build process, we need to install newer version of nasm manually:

• Download nasm

  wget https://www.nasm.us/pub/nasm/releasebuilds/2.15rc12/nasm-2.15rc12.tar.gz"
  

• Extract file

  tar zxvf nasm-2.15rc12.tar.gz"
  

• Build and install nasm

  cd nasm-2.15rc12
  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  sudo make install
  

• Check to see if nasm reports desired version or not

  nasm -v
  

Build EDKII base tools

• Initial submodule (skip this if you already did this)

  git submodule update --init
  

• Build base tools

  cd BaseTools
  make
  

Build RedfishClientPkg

In order to reference RedfishClientPkg, we need to set PACKAGES_PATH and specify the location of edk2-redfish-client repository.

export PACKAGES_PATH=$PWD/edk2:$PWD/edk2-redfish-client
cd $PWD/edk2
. ./edksetup.sh
build -p RedfishClientPkg/RedfishClientPkg.dsc -t GCC5 -a X64
