iPXE discussion forum

I am trying to build an EFI version of iPXE for distribution to Apple laptops, so I may chainload PXE.

The command I am using is

Code:

make bin-x86_64-efi/ipxe.efi

. The build, after some time, halts with an error:

Code:

The curious thing about this is that I can compile iPXE as an ISO completely fine, however the exact same code will not build as an EFI. The only change being that I have defined PXE_STACK in config/general.h

Code:

/*

 * PXE support

 *

 */

#define    PXE_STACK        /* PXE stack in iPXE - you want this! */

//#undef    PXE_MENU        /* PXE menu booting */

I am compiling the code against the current git master branch. Using gcc:

Code:

gcc (Ubuntu 5.2.1-22ubuntu2) 5.2.1 20151010

And on Ubuntu 15.10.

PXE_STACK and EFI don't go together. Make it '#undef PXE_STACK' or leave commented. Then try compiling again.

But you might want to change this option:

Code:

#define        CONSOLE_FRAMEBUFFER

That Framebuffer Directive did trip me up as well. Good callout.
