How difficult to make it using system-wide installed library instead of checking out and building it? Some systems already have gnu-efi packaged/installed. It makes sense to use it.> Update: after several days, the gnu-efi master head is now available > again. > > I do not discard the possibility of seeing it disappearing again in the > future, as this seems to be a misunderstanding / mismanagement of the > git repo / git commands. > > Regards, > Ady. > _______________________________________________ > Syslinux mailing list > Submissions to Syslinux at zytor.com > Unsubscribe or set options at: > http://www.zytor.com/mailman/listinfo/syslinux

It also levels the field such that everyone has the same version. The only viable alternatives I can think of are: 1) Use our own repo. 2) Put a Makefile variable in to indicate to use system then check if sufficient else fail the entire build. Bear in mind this also complicates debugging. --Gene
