<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">All in all it could be solved within a really small amount of time, with a small amount of changes and extensions some months ago<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My concept here was to choose the existing Microsoft VisualStudio package and<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">adjust it to run in the UEFI environment, by reimplementing missing Win32-API functions (amount of 8).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This could be done using the Microsoft-C-Library compatible <a href="https://github.com/KilianKegel/toro-C-Library#toro-c-library-formerly-known-as-torito-c-library">
toro-C-Library</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Maybe that concept is also useable for porting “openSSH” to UEFI Shell:

<p class="MsoNormal">The toro-C-Library source code is included in the project.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You can check what is inside, how it works internally and how I do believe a<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">C-Library for UEFI Shell/SMM/DXE/PEI should be constructed that guarantees<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">compatibility/portability+testability for POST drivers and UEFI/Windows Shell applications by design.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The “toro-C-Library” build engine is VisualStudio/msbuild.exe only. It takes 20 Seconds to get it done.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The older “torito-C-Library” build engine is EDK2Build. It takes 120 seconds to get it done, for the same result,
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">on the same build machine.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
