Need help compiling

[robinsmidsrod]

Have you verified that you have all the tools for compilation installed on your VM? The list of required tools are here: http://ipxe.org/download

I believe you should be able to install them all on Ubuntu with this command: sudo apt-get install build-essential perl

If this is all good you should verify that the error you're seeing is actually the FIRST error in the compilation chain. To me it seems like an item compiled earlier didn't build correctly for some reason, and that it, as this point, can't be located.

You could also have met a bug, and if so, you might want to try and checkout a slightly older version, possibly one that was before the last time that file (i386.lds) was modified (check the git log, look for the [i386] keyword specifically).

If you find out that an old commit works, doing a git bisect (see http://ipxe.org/howto/bisect) would really help the developers figure out where it broke.
