GnuMake Linker error while building Helloworld application in edk2 in windows using clang38

[shrishailp]

Hi Shijunjing,
I followed the steps mentioned in https://github.com/shijunjing/edk2/tree/2021-gsoc-llvm-gnumake-v2 to make infrastructure.
I am trying to build Helloworld application in MSVC 2019 using CLANG38.
I have added GnuMake as enviornment path as well.
Made changes in ToolsDef.txt from CLANG38_MAKE_PATH = make to CLANG38_MAKE_PATH = gnumake
After that able to compile, but during linking getting below errors.
Please let me know if i miss anything

This is a [stupid] joke, the 'cmake support' effectively does nothing whatsoever.
All you have to do is look at his cmake file / commit log.
It stuffs a few files with minimal header only deps into a static library (which doesn't have to link to anything) and pretends like they've added cmake support. Writing a readme tutorial about it is the real joke, there is more work into the readme than the cmake.
