Cant build on ubuntu 20.04/WSL2 #2
Description
Hi there.
As a software engineer for Omron NL I was searching for a solution to load microcode from the EFI-shell (would help us with an issue we have in one of our IPC's) and I stumbled upon this project (since it had the PatchMicroCode function).
Unfortunately I'm unable to compile it. Since I work from home due to the pandemic I can't access my linux machines (VPN they use is windows only) so Instead I've set up WSL2 with ubuntu 20.04, downloaded EDK2 and compiled the basetools, MdePkg and OVMF package. all worked fine. I then proceeded by copying the EdkiiShellToolPkg to the edk2 folder and set the ACTIVE_PLATFORM to EdkiiShellToolPkg/EdkiiShellToolPkg.dsc
unfortunately I ended up with this:
`Build environment: Linux-5.4.72-microsoft-standard-WSL2-x86_64-with-glibc2.29

Any idea what's going wrong?
thanks! Niek
Edit: when compiling against edk2-stable202011 it works, but a newer EDK2 will break this project!
