Revert "BaseTools: Add support for out-of-tree builds"

2026-02-11T22:53:29+00:00

This reverts commit 3fe1d56cc98e011bbde8348f13dfa5e38c95f49e. PR https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/pull/11757 introduced a "Breaking Change" feature for out of tree builds of tools. This breaking change is blocking testing of edk2-stable202602 due to side effects on building FitGen tool in edk2-platforms. Revert this feature for the edk2-stable202602 release and work on this feature after the release. Signed-off-by: Michael D Kinney

BaseTools: Add support for out-of-tree builds

2026-02-02T08:56:31+00:00

Main EDK2 build supports out-of-tree builds but BaseTools make process still creates tools and object files in-tree. In order to make out-of-tree build support complete move the generated tools and interim obj files to $WORKSPACE location as well. This patch also changes the location of BaseTools for in-tree builds (default behavior when WORKSPACE is not provided before calling edksetup) to $WORKSPACE/BaseTools/Build/... It may potentially break external workflows that invoke tools from the default location outside of the build tool. Signed-off-by: Oleksandr Tymoshenko

BaseTools: Refactor shell BinWrappers/PosixLike wrappers

2026-02-02T08:56:31+00:00

- Move common wrapper logic for multiple tools to GenericShellWrapper file - Drop search for BaseToolsCBinaries from the list of checked directories. This case has been broken for quite a while since the exec clause never passed command arguments to the supposed binary. - Remove a suggestion to run make in $EDK_TOOLS_PATH/Source/C and let the wrapper fail if the directory exists but no binary is present.
