Missing PlatformBuild.py

[PopoviciPaul]

Hi,

I'm trying to build a project which uses the EDK2 python extension when I build I get an error saying I should run stuart_update. When I try to manually run that I get 'Missing PlatformBuild.py' error. How can I fix this? Thank you.

Hello, I can't say for sure without knowing the platform you are building (if open source), or the commands you are using. Stuart and EDKII pytool extensions is quite customizable. The normal scenario, defined in the edk2-pytool documentation Is that you cloned the repository and immediately ran stuart_build -c <Path/To/PlatformFile.py>. If this is the case, then you also need to run stuart_setup -c <Path/To/PlatformFile.py> and stuart_update -c <Path/To/PlatformFile.py>, not just stuart_update (without the -c argument).

The other way I've seen a platform use stuart is to bake the command directly into their platform file, and tell users to run python3 <Path/To/PlatformFile.py>. If that is your case, then most likely, you need to run python3 <Path/To/PlatformFile.py> --update, but you'll need to look at the platform file to see all command line options.

Feel free to provide any links to what you are trying to build, provide more information, or ask any additional questions If I was not able to answer your question!

Thank you. Unfortunately I cannot provide more information but I think this may help. I will try tomorrow. Thank you for the elaborate answer!
