[edk2-devel] Question: module compilation failure with less number of files

The rules do support an “Optional” keyword. Does this rule format work before and after your INF change?
[Rule.Common.USER_DEFINED.ACPITABLE]
FILE FREEFORM = $(NAMED_GUID) {
RAW ACPI Optional |.acpi
RAW ASL Optional |.aml
}

Subject: Re: [edk2-devel] Question: module compilation failure with less number of files
I got an answer based on the other question I had posted.
I think "Rule" provided for given inf (using RuleOverride) forces certain files to be present:
[Rule.Common.USER_DEFINED.ACPITABLE]
FILE FREEFORM = $(NAMED_GUID) {
RAW ACPI |.acpi
RAW ASL |.aml
}
So, in this case, for given inf module, if either of .acpi or .aml file is not generated,
then below kind of error shows up:
: error F003: Output file for RAW section could not be found for Platform/ARM/JunoPkg/AcpiTables/AcpiTables.inf

Hi All,
I am trying to compile some ACPI tables, and I observed that
if I specify less minimal tables/asl as Sources for ACPI tables module INF file
(resulting in less size of overall module), compilation fails with below error:
build.py...
: error F003: Output file for RAW section could not be found for Platform/ARM/JunoPkg/AcpiTables/AcpiTables.inf
To reproduce this issue,
1) Apply below patch (just keeping Fadt.c here as example;
Other ways: just keep ASL file after removing some objects to reduce file size; or keep combination of .c and .asl files - **as long as these files are small**):
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
diff --git a/Platform/ARM/JunoPkg/AcpiTables/AcpiTables.inf b/Platform/ARM/JunoPkg/AcpiTables/AcpiTables.inf

[Packages]

2) Now compile the module:
export PACKAGES_PATH=`pwd`/edk2-platforms/

build -a AARCH64 -t GCC5 -p Platform/ARM/JunoPkg/ArmJuno.dsc -m Platform/ARM/JunoPkg/AcpiTables/AcpiTables.inf

Can anyone help understand this behavior?
