+This directory contains the Microsoft Visual C makefile for building vboot |
+reference code (and testing, eventually) in a 32 bit DOS window. |
+ |
+Microsoft Visual C 2008 (or later) is the prerequisite for this to work. |
+ |
+To build vboot_reference tree in the DOS window do the following: |
+ |
+- untar or git clone the vboot_reference source tree |
+ |
+- open a DOS window |
+ |
+- run the MSVC provided script vcvars32.bat to create the command line build |
+ environment. Script location is MSVC installation specific. For instance: |
+ |
+ c:\> \bios\devtls\MSVC9\Vc\bin\vcvars32.bat |
+ |
+- define a directory where the nmake output should go into |
+ |
+ c:\> set MOD=z:\shared\tmp |
+ |
+- start the make job as follows: |
+ |
+ c:\> nmake /f %path_to_vboot_reference_tree%\msc\nmakefile |
+ |
+- observe the output generated in %MOD% |
