uwu-efi

A clean, modern C++ 17 SDK for writing UEFI applications.

uwu-efi is designed to be a fully UEFI 2.8 w/ Errata A standards compliant SDK for writing UEFI applications in either modern C++, or some support for UEFI Bytecode.

Supported Platforms

uwu-efi is planned to fully support the following platforms,

Configuring and Building

The following steps describe how to build the uwu-efi package

Prerequisites

To build uwu-efi, ensure you have the following dependencies:

• git
• meson
• ninja
• g++ >= 8.4.0 or clang++ >= 8.0.1

Some support scripts that uwu-efi uses need the following:

• Python >= 3.7
• python-construct
• python-jinja2

Configuring

You can build uwu-efi with the default options, all of which can be found in meson_options.txt. You can change these by specifying -D<OPTION_NAME>=<VALUE> at initial meson invocation time, or with meson configure in the build directory post initial configure.

To change the install prefix, which is /usr/local by default ensure to pass --prefix <PREFIX> when running meson for the first time.

In either case, simply running meson build from the root of the repository will be sufficient and place all of the build files in the build subdirectory.

Building

Once you have configured uwu-efi appropriately, to simply build and install simply run the following:

$ ninja -C build
$ ninja -C build install

This will build and install uwu-efi into the default prefix which is /usr/local, to change that see the configuration steps above.

Notes to Package Maintainers

If you are building uwu-efi for inclusion in a distributions package system then ensure to set DESTDIR prior to running meson install.

There is also a bugreport_url configuration option that is set to this repositories issues tracker by default, it is recommended to change it to your distributions bug tracking page.
