Xcode
This page provides step-by-step instructions for setting up a [http://www.tianocore.org/edk2/ EDK II] build environment on Mac OS X systems using the Xcode development tools. These steps have been verified with macOS Sierra Version 10.12.4
Download the latest version of Xcode (9.4.1 as of this writing) from the Mac App Store. After installing Xcode, you will additionally need to install the extra command-line tools. To do this, at a Terminal prompt, enter:
$ xcode-select --install
While Xcode provides a full development environment as well as a suite of different utilities, it does not provide all tools required for Tianocore development. These tools can be provided in a number of ways, but the two most popular ways come from Brew and MacPorts. Installation information is provided at the previous links.
- If you work behind a firewall and need to pass your network traffic through a proxy, ensure you set the environment variable RSYNC_PROXY to your http proxy in the form of
proxy.dns.name:port_number.- Remember that
sudoby default drops most environment variables. Add the-Eoption to tellsudoto keep your environment variables.
- Remember that
- When installing MacPorts packages, if you would like to build from source like traditional FreeBSD Ports systems, add the
-soption to the command line. Otherwise, default behavior is to pull precompiled packages.
The mtoc utility is required to convert from the macOS Mach-O image format to the PE/COFF format as required by the UEFI specification.
$ brew install mtoc
$ sudo port install cctools
By default, this will install mtoc at /opt/local/bin/mtoc.
The assembler used for EDK II builds is Netwide Assembler (NASM). The latest version of NASM is available from http://www.nasm.us/.
$ brew install nasm
$ brew upgrade nasm
$ sudo port install nasm
By default this installs nasm at /opt/local/bin/nasm.
In order to support EDK II firmware builds, the latest version of the ASL compiler from https://acpica.org must be installed. The ASL compiler is required to build ACPI Source Language code.
$ brew install acpica
$ brew upgrade acpica
$ sudo port install acpica
By default this installs iasl at /opt/local/bin/iasl
On order to support running the OVMF platforms from the OvmfPkg, the QEMU emulator from http://www.qemu.org/ must be installed.
$ brew install qemu
$ brew upgrade qemu
$ sudo port install qemu
By default qemu is installed in /opt/local/bin.
Tools installed using the brew command are placed in /usr/local/bin. The PATH environment variable must be updated so the newly installed tools are used instead of older pre-installed tools.
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
Tools installed using the port should automatically be in your shell's PATH. If not, you can manually set it by:
export PATH=/opt/local/bin:$PATH
Run the following commands to verify the versions of the tools that have been installed.
nasm –v
iasl –v
qemu-system-x86_64 --version
mtoc
Pick the location you want to down load the files to and cd to that directory:
cd ~/work
git clone https://github.com/tianocore/edk2.git
Build the UnixPkg:
cd ~/work/edk2/UnixPkg
./build.sh
Debug the UnixPkg
./build.sh run

(gdb)
Type r at the gdb prompt (don't forget to hit carriage return) to boot the emulator. Ctrl-c in the terminal window will break in to gdb. bt is the stack backtrace command:

To build from the Xcode GUI open ~/work/edk2/UnixPkg/Xcode/xcode_project/xcode_project.xcodeproj. You can build, clean, and source level debug from the Xcode GUI. You can hit the Build and Debug button to start the build process. You need to need to hit command-shift-B to show the output of the build. Click Pause to break into the debugger.
The stack trace contains items that show as ?? since the default shell is checked in as a binary. nanosleep$UNIX2003 and __semwait_signal are POSIX library calls and you do not get C source debug with these symbols.
It is possible to get source level debug for the EFI Shell by pulling these projects from source control and building them.
Instructions for building and hooking in the shell are located in the [https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/tianocore/index.php?title=Gcc-shell gcc-shell] project.
Please note the gcc-shell and UnixPkg build separately, so if you update shell code you need to build the shell to see the changes. The following screen shot shows being able to source level debug the shell:
The remaining instructions are common for most UNIX-like systems.
