Opencore 0.5.9 release breaks N-D-K Build #33

Open jb0ob opened 4 years ago

jb0ob commented 4 years ago

Hi there, I can't seem to build the latest release of open core. I am familiar with the process and have always succeeded in the past, but now the build fails every time.

What I've tried: Xtools 1.4 beta (with command line tool) Xtools 1.5 (with command line tool)

I'm running Catalina 10.15.2, also tried on Catalina 10.15.4 NDK fail.txt

The issue IS (not seems to be) that with Opencore 0.5.9 some standalone components like MacInfo and EfiPkg, according to the readme.md files on the GitHub pages, became part of Opencore and are not available when using the build script - only the README.md is being downloaded that says: EfiPkg is now part of OpenCore. For MacInfo package it is not big problem because one just has to download the source zip from GitHub and copy to right folder, but on EfiPkg GitHub page there are no previous releases (like the whole history has been wiped out) and it is showstopper for the build. The N-D-K should fix this either by including all needed files or fixing the links...

no way to get around this to build for opencore 0.5.9?

I ended up abandoning NDK, and am now just selecting boot from my bios menu. It's not so pretty, but at least I know it will work consistently across all open core builds.

Well, I would be happy to have a way of starting up Windows reliably from OpenCore, but unless there is a way to collect all required components of NDK from somewhere, some archives or something, I do not see a way of having it compiled successfully... and btw. yesterday OpenCore 0.6.0 was published...
