Building iPXE - jbirlingmair - 2016-06-06 23:45

Ok, so I think I have all the dependencies to build iPXE,

Quote:You will need to have at least the following packages installed in order to build iPXE:

◾ gcc (version 3 or later)
◾ binutils (version 2.18 or later)
◾ make
◾ perl
◾ syslinux (for isolinux, only needed for building .iso images)
◾ liblzma or xz header files

The computer I am trying to build on is not connected to the internet, so that creates some complexity. I downloaded what I think is the libzma header files and added them to

Code:

/usr/local/include

then I do

Code:

cd src

make

and it starts building but halts on

Code:

[AR] bin/blib.a

ar: creating bin/blib.a

 [HOSTCC] util.zbin

util.zbin.c: In function 'process_zinfo_pack':

util/zbin.c:272:2 error: unknown type name 'lzma_options_lzma'

So does that mean I have the wrong lzma.h ?

I am using Ubuntu, I ported over the lzma files myself, but am not sure they got configured correctly. I don't have a package installer on the Ubuntu box I don't think.

Any ideas?

Don't do that. Just install the liblzma-dev package for Ubuntu.

Ok, I got the libLZMA-dev package installed and iPXE compiled fine. Thanks

You will need to have the syslinux package (which contains isolinux) installed if you want to build iPXE ISO images.

You have given no information here. See http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html.
