====== Calculation BIOS Build Time ======

makefile
<code>
target: target1 target2 
<tab>gcc -o ExecutionFile target1 target2
</code>


Step1 : Add two variables before .XXXXX   ex:.PHONY
<code>
START_TIME := $(shell echo %time%)
END_TIME := $(shell echo %time%)
</code>

Step2 : Add two targets
<code>
start_time:
	@echo Start Time: $(START_TIME)

end_time:
	$(eval END_TIME := $(shell echo %time%))
	@echo Start Time: $(START_TIME)
	@echo End Time: $(END_TIME)
	@echo.
	@echo Calculate time...
	@powershell -Command "$$start_time = [datetime]::Parse('$(START_TIME)'); $$end_time = [datetime]::Parse('$(END_TIME)'); $$duration = $$end_time - $$start_time;echo Build_time: $$duration"
</code>

Step3 : Add "start_time" "end_time" targets to ".PHONY"
<code>
.PHONY : all clean rebuild run RunAmiSdl AptioV sdl Prologue start_time end_time
</code>

Step4 : Add the target to start location and end location\\

all: <color #ed1c24>start_time</color> Prologue $(BUILD_DIR) RunAmiSdl AptioV <color #ed1c24>end_time</color>
