Bob Feng 8d57088335 BaseTools: Remove the dependency on the build intermediate file
When generating compressed section, the build tool rely on the
build intermediate files, which were generated in last build, to
get the file list. This method will cause the incremental build to
generate incorrect build result. To reproduce this incremental build
error, you can do:
1. build Ovmf
2. change the module OvmfPkg\AcpiTables a source file Facp.aslc
name from Facp.aslc to Facpxxx.aslc.
3. change the Facp.aslc file name in [sources] section of AcpiTables.inf
4. incremental build Ovmf

you will see the in AcpiTables module Makefile, the corresponding
Facp.acpi file is not changed.

This patch is to make the build always get file list from the INF.

This directory contains the EDK II build tools and template files.
Templates are located in the Conf directory, while the tools executables for
Microsoft Windows Operating Systems are located in the Bin\\Win32 directory, other
directory contains tools source.

Build step to generate the binary tools
---------------------------------------

Windows/Visual Studio Notes
===========================

To build the BaseTools, you should run the standard vsvars32.bat script
from your preferred Visual Studio installation or you can run get_vsvars.bat
to use latest automatically detected version.

In addition to this, you should set the following environment variables::

 * EDK_TOOLS_PATH - Path to the BaseTools sub directory under the edk2 tree
 * BASE_TOOLS_PATH - The directory where the BaseTools source is located.
   (It is the same directory where this README.rst is located.)

After this, you can run the toolsetup.bat file, which is in the same
directory as this file.  It should setup the remainder of the environment,
and build the tools if necessary.

Please also refer to the ``BuildNotes.txt`` file for more information on
building under Windows.

Unix-like operating systems
===========================

To build on Unix-like operating systems, you only need to type ``make`` in
the base directory of the project.

Ubuntu Notes
============

On Ubuntu, the following command should install all the necessary build
packages to build all the C BaseTools::

 sudo apt install build-essential uuid-dev
