If you have any problems (e.g. does not compile) with this package, consider the binary shells: https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/tree/master/ShellBinPkg.

The build fails with the following error:
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘--build-id=none’; did you mean ‘--builtin’?

It should probably be a ',' separating the linker flags:

The build succeeds when commenting line 78 of the PKGBUILD, thus preventing passing the '--build-id=none' option. Was there a specific reason to have it in?

I think this needs to be updated for gcc 6:

gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘--build-id=none’; did you mean ‘--builtin’?

Due to work and other life commitments, I am unable to devote time to maintain this package. Orphaned.

@ALL: Please use https://aur4.archlinux.org/packages/uefi-shell-git/ .

Hi,
I have built this with no problems. However, it will not launch at boot. V1 and v2 precompiled shells will run. Uefi ver of my system is American Megatrends v2.3i.
I am hoping for some guidance.

Thank you
Dennis
