Where can I find the 'build' command needed to build the environment for EDK 2?

I followed the step-by-step article here: UEFI/EFK2 . Everything works nice until I need to actually build it. At the paragraph 'Building MdeModulePkg module package' the description says: Just type build:

bash$ build

but my Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS says:

No command 'build' found, did you mean:

 Command 'xbuild' from package 'mono-xbuild' (main)

 Command 'guild' from package 'guile-2.0-libs' (universe)

 Command 'sbuild' from package 'sbuild' (universe)

 Command 'bwild' from package 'bacula-director-common' (main)

 Command 'buildd' from package 'buildd' (universe)

build: command not found

Maybe someone knows where exactly I can find this mysterious command?

As long as you have installed the build dependencies and followed the guide exactly, I think you just need to make sure you are in the edk2 directory when you issue the build command. If you enter the build command when you are in any other directory you will get the error that you received.

Also, the build command will only work if you have run edksetup.sh and edited the correct build parameters into ~/src/edk2/Conf/target.txt (or whatever your path is).

Here is the initial output of the build command when run from the edk2 directory (with files tweaked as per the guide):

mik@Acer ~/src/edk2$ build

Build environment: Linux-3.2.0-32-generic-i686-with-Ubuntu-12.04-precise

Build start time: 00:45:15, Oct.22 2012



WORKSPACE        = /home/mike/src/edk2

ECP_SOURCE       = /home/mike/src/edk2/EdkCompatibilityPkg

EDK_SOURCE       = /home/mike/src/edk2/EdkCompatibilityPkg

EFI_SOURCE       = /home/mike/src/edk2/EdkCompatibilityPkg

EDK_TOOLS_PATH   = /home/mike/src/edk2/BaseTools



Architecture(s)  = IA32

Build target     = DEBUG

Toolchain        = GCC46



Active Platform          = /home/mike/src/edk2/MdeModulePkg/MdeModulePkg.dsc



Processing meta-data ........... done!

Then it proceeds to compile everything required.
