HOW-TO: Decipher #include directory problems.

Having a problem with an #include file, but can’t tell where the error is coming from. Here’s what to do:

In the INF file for your component, go to [nmake.common] and add:

C_FLAGS = $(C_FLAGS) /showIncludes

Make sure you add a # BUGBUG so that you remember to come back and remove it later before you release!

 

SecureCore Tiano(TM) 2.0.

Well, the BIOS world has been changing over the past few years to be a little more friendly towards C programming. I would suggest the UEFI & ACPI specifications, which are the two biggies in the BIOS world.
