Rithvik Rama 3fe67222b9 EmulatorPkg: Fix enum type mismatch warning treated as error
Issue: While building edk2, the compiler threw a warning
       that was treated as an eror which halted the build
       process.

Root Cause: The error was due to a comparison between two
            different enum types.

Code Fix: WinGopScreen.c: In function WinNtWndBlt, changed
          the comparison between an enum type
	  "EFI_UGA_BLT_OPERATION" and "EFI_GRAPHICS_OUTPUT_BLT_OPERATION"
	  to "EFI_UGA_BLT_OPERATION".

Test: The compiled image runs successfully on QEMU.

Overview

EmulatorPkg provides an environment where a UEFI environment can be emulated under an environment where a full UEFI compatible environment is not possible. (For example, running under an OS where an OS process hosts the UEFI emulation environment.)

Status

  • Builds and runs under
    • a posix-like environment with X windows
      • Linux
      • OS X
    • Windows environment
      • Win10 (verified)
      • Win8 (not verified)

How to Build & Run

You can use the following command to build.

  • 32bit emulator in Windows:

    build -p EmulatorPkg\EmulatorPkg.dsc -t VS2022 -a IA32

  • 64bit emulator in Windows:

    build -p EmulatorPkg\EmulatorPkg.dsc -t VS2022 -a X64

  • 32bit emulator in Linux:

    build -p EmulatorPkg\EmulatorPkg.dsc -t GCC5 -a IA32

  • 64bit emulator in Linux:

    build -p EmulatorPkg\EmulatorPkg.dsc -t GCC5 -a X64

You can start/run the emulator using the following command:

  • 32bit emulator in Windows:

    cd Build\EmulatorIA32\DEBUG_VS2022\IA32\ && WinHost.exe

  • 64bit emulator in Windows:

    cd Build\EmulatorX64\DEBUG_VS2022\X64\ && WinHost.exe

  • 32bit emulator in Linux:

    cd Build/EmulatorIA32/DEBUG_GCC5/IA32/ && ./Host

  • 64bit emulator in Linux:

    cd Build/EmulatorX64/DEBUG_GCC5/X64/ && ./Host

On posix-like environment with the bash shell you can use EmulatorPkg/build.sh to simplify building and running emulator.

For example, to build + run:

$ EmulatorPkg/build.sh $ EmulatorPkg/build.sh run

The build architecture will match your host machine's architecture.

On X64 host machines, you can build + run IA32 mode as well:

$ EmulatorPkg/build.sh -a IA32 $ EmulatorPkg/build.sh -a IA32 run
