Thanks for integrating these changes. Note that you may need to enable Actions in the GitHub projects settings for GitHub Actions to work, as I am not seeing the Actions tab on the main gnu-efi project...
Pete, refresh, I enabled it.
Yup, seeing it now. I guess that because you enabled it after you pushed these changes, you won't get an automated build for them. But you'll get one on any future commits you push to this repo.
Now that gnu-efi has moved to GitHub, and considering that gnu-efi should aim at being used by more than the Linux/gcc microcosm, we can start to leverage GitHub's facilities to provide Continuous Integration and testing for multiple toolchains, in order to detect potential regressions.
This patchset therefore adds the Visual Studio 2022 solution files, along with automated GitHub Actions CI builds for Linux/gcc and Windows/VS2022.
While we are at it, we also bridge some more differences that exist between EDK2 and gnu-efi regarding SMBIOS/AsciiStr.
Note that the
mips64el
andloongarch64
gcc builds are currently commented out, on account that support forloongarch64
has not yet been added to Ubuntu (and GitHub Actions uses Ubuntu as its base images for Linux) and that a regression was introduced formips64el
in recent gnu-efi commits (sincemips64el
does build properly in a separate branch of mine that filters out some of the commits that were applied since 3.0.16, but fails with latest... which is precisely the kind of regressions that having GitHub Actions CI would detect early).You can see an example of the outcome of the CI builds at https://github.com/pbatard/gnu-efi-org/actions/runs/9001437514 (for gcc) and https://github.com/pbatard/gnu-efi-org/actions/runs/9001437516 (for VS2022).
