I'm using late git code

Thanks.

You need to install the libbfd headers, which are probably in a package called "bfd-devel", "libbfd-devel", or similar.

I install binutils-dev ("apt-cache search libbfd" gave me that result), but i get a new error:


Thanks again.

It looks as though you also need zlib-dev (or libz-dev, or similar).

Most likely you haven't installed build-essential, which gives you a complete C toolchain. Please also see the main ipxe.org website for the specific build requirements.

Finally I used ubuntu 10.04 (using latest desktop version I've all those problems) server on a virtual machine and, installing what you suggested me, it's all ok.

Thanks.
