boot/syslinux: fix build with EFI support

2019-02-26T12:07:46+00:00

Commit 1a437fd22f bumped gnu-efi to version 3.0.9. This breaks the build of syslinux with EFI support due to multiple definitions of 'memset' and 'memcpy'. Backport a patch already applied upstream to fix the problem. Signed-off-by: Carlos Santos Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

package/gnu-efi: introduce BR2_PACKAGE_GNU_EFI_ARCH_SUPPORTS option

2019-01-12T16:34:22+00:00

This will be used in packages that depend on gnu-efi, and we take this opportunity to propagate this dependency where it was missing in gummiboot and syslinux. In practice, it was not a problem because gummiboot and syslinux are only available on i386 and x86-64, which is a subset of the architectures supported by gnu-efi. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

boot/syslinux: fix build with glibc 2.28+

2018-11-19T21:37:15+00:00

When building with glibc 2.28+, the "major", "minor" and "makedev" functions are defined in "sys/sysmacros.h". This commit backports upstream commit 1a74985b2a404639b08882c57f3147229605dfd5 to fix the build with glibc 2.28.

syslinux: use the host compiler to build extlinux

2018-04-01T15:49:05+00:00

Like the utilities, it is meant to run on the host machine, hence must be built using the host toolchain. Signed-off-by: Carlos Santos Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

boot/syslinux: fix i386 bios build with recent binutils

2017-08-16T20:54:03+00:00

When we use the cross-compiler to build syslinux with a recent binutils version, it fails with: /builds/arnout/buildroot/output/host/bin/i586-buildroot-linux-uclibc-ld -Bsymbolic -pie -E --hash-style=gnu -T /builds/arnout/buildroot/output/build/syslinux-6.03/core/i386/syslinux.ld -M -o ldlinux.elf ldlinux.o \ --start-group libcom32.a --whole-archive /builds/arnout/buildroot/output/build/syslinux-6.03/bios/com32/lib/libcom32core.a libldlinux.a --end-group -N --no-omagic \ > ldlinux.map /builds/arnout/buildroot/output/host/bin/i586-buildroot-linux-uclibc-ld: ldlinux.elf: Not enough room for program headers, try linking with -N /builds/arnout/buildroot/output/host/bin/i586-buildroot-linux-uclibc-ld: final link failed: Bad value /builds/arnout/buildroot/output/build/syslinux-6.03/core/Makefile:167: recipe for target 'ldlinux.elf' failed Backport an upstream patch that reorganises the i386 bios build by removing some symbols and making others hidden. To simplify the backport, an additional patch that also touches the link script is also included - it anyway looks like that patch could be relevant as well.

boot/syslinux: renumber patches

Also the last two are regenerated, their context has changed due to the patches that have been removed earlier. Signed-off-by: Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind) Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

Globally replace $(HOST_DIR)/usr/share with $(HOST_DIR)/share

2017-07-05T13:21:31+00:00

Since things are no longer installed in $(HOST_DIR)/usr, the callers should also not refer to it. This is a mechanical change with git grep -l '$(HOST_DIR)/usr/share' | xargs sed -i 's%$(HOST_DIR)/usr/share%$(HOST_DIR)/share%g' Signed-off-by: Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind) Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni
