Error building ISO - pxe_curious - 2016-05-25 18:43

I was trying to build an ISO image using

Code:

make bin/ipxe.iso

But I got an error as follows:

Code:

[BUILD] bin/hvm.ids.o

  [BUILD] bin/undi.ids.o

  [AR] bin/blib.a

ar: creating bin/blib.a

  [HOSTCC] util/zbin

  [VERSION] bin/version.ipxe.lkrn.o

  [LD] bin/ipxe.lkrn.tmp

  [BIN] bin/ipxe.lkrn.bin

  [ZINFO] bin/ipxe.lkrn.zinfo

  [ZBIN] bin/ipxe.lkrn.zbin

  [FINISH] bin/ipxe.lkrn

  [GENISO] bin/ipxe.iso

cp: missing destination file operand after â€˜bin/iso.dir.CtH7Kiâ€™

Try 'cp --help' for more information.

genisoimage: Uh oh, I cant find the boot image 'isolinux.bin' !

rm bin/ipxe.lkrn.zinfo bin/ipxe.lkrn.zbin bin/version.ipxe.lkrn.o bin/ipxe.lkrn.bin

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Solved it, I was missing the isolinux package. I had installed the Syslinux package, thinking that was all I needed.

Thanks for looking.

I had exactly the same problem, I just tried to 'make bin/ipxe.iso' as per http://ipxe.org/download .

I debugged the make process (make SHELL="/bin/bash -x" bin/ipxe.iso), and found that ISOLINUX_BIN and LDLINUX_C32 were not set.
I managed to build the ipxe.iso (based on http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php?title=ISOLINUX) the following way:

Code:

wget https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/syslinux-6.03.zip

mkdir syslinux-6.03

unzip  ../syslinux-6.03.zip

Then in the ipxe/src dir:

Code:

rm bin/ipxe.iso # need to delete this, if it already generated a wrong iso

make -j 4 ISOLINUX_BIN=/path/to/syslinux-6.03/bios/core/isolinux.bin LDLINUX_C32=/path/to/syslinux-6.03/bios/com32/elflink/ldlinux/ldlinux.c32 bin/ipxe.iso
