I get a link error when trying to call malloc from libcom32. I tried to simplify the case by adding the malloc to the sample hello.c in the modules directory, but I still get the following error: ld -m elf_i386 -T ../lib/com32.ld -o hello.elf hello.o ../libutil/libutil_com.a ../lib/libcom32.a /usr/lib64/gcc-lib/x86_64-suse-linux/3.3.3/32/libgcc.a ../lib/libcom32.a(malloc.o)(.text+0x13): In

I'll start off by saying that I'm very new to com32, but I'm having difficulty linking the libcom32.a library into an executable. I'm using syslinux-3.11, I copied the libcom32.a library into my directory and here's the output of my attmept: #ld com32io.o dtimenu.o syslnx.o tui.o --library-path=./ -lcom32 .//libcom32.a(entry.o)(.init+0x42): In function `_start':

Okay, if one installs syslinux, the declaration for 'detect_cpu' is in com32/include/cpuid.h, but the actual function code isn't available in libcom32.a. It's only available as source down in the com32/modules/ directory, and not actually installed anywhere. Shouldn't 'detect_cpu' be included in libcom32.a? -- Dr. William R.

Hi all, I have released SYSLINUX 2.12-pre1. This version has an initial version of libcom32, a small C library based on klibc for writing com32 programs in C. It is far from perfect yet, but it should be a lot easier to use than hand-coding everything. As usual, find this stuff in: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa

Hello, Would com32 modules be considered the same as an ordinary Linux executable with respect to LGPL? That is, as long as you released any changes to syslinux/com32 libs would you also have to release the source to the com32 module? Thanks for your time.

Hi Greg, > The open source AAC/HE-AAC encoders offer pretty poor audio quality. > Sometimes you really do get what you pay for, and this is a perfect example. An alternative explanation might be that open source developers were not particularly motivated to work on improving AAC encoders, because of difficulties experienced when trying to distribute patent-encumbered code.

Hi Everyone, I'd be grateful if anyone can help with a couple of queries I have. Recently I downloaded Centos 3.3 and cannot get it to install I my system. The system I am using to install is a based on an original EPIA Mini-ITX m/board. At a certain point in installing it comes up with an error saying something like "system not supported". Can anyone advise if they have got

For the people who are currently interested in java as it relates to centos now that Sun has GPL'd java there are some things to be aware of. The folks at jpackage.org are pretty much all over this development but it's not the bright shiny news everyone has made it out to be. Sun did a very good thing by moving java under the GPL, and they should be commended for FINALLY seeing the light

Hi. Apple have a bunch of patches to openssh that they have folded into the version that's shipped with MacOSX. Some of these are very convenient: like automagically starting an ssh-agent at login/boot time and the ability to have SSH passphrases stored and fetched from the Keychain. It would be nice if these could be considered for rolling in to a future release of openssh. FWIW

Hello, I poked a little bit to extract the list of modules dependencies in Syslinux v6 (see below). I have attached a bash script that generate a nice table from the tarball. The output can either be an ASCII table, or wiki markup, typically for the page Library_modules[1]. I am not in the wiki Editor group, so I can't put that in the wiki. anyway, here's an updated dependency tree for

I just added the patch submitted with ticket #2133 to the SVN trunk, with slight modifications. (And yeah, I know I said "bug fixes" only till 1.5, but this patch probably counts as a bugfix). Big thanks to the contributors on this! I''ll probably will give it a second pass and will do some refactoring. Anyone want to work on/can come up with some sort of generalized

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Is there any reason why the keyboard poll routine (int 16h) in conio.inc checks fro a serial port. when pxelinux.0 is run under a vm - the keyboard does not register. which makes menus useless.

Does the reason Theora is relatively safe from patent infringement lawsuit have more to do with it actually not being encumbered, or is it because its use is decentralized? For example, FreeType is not patent-free, nor is Linux, yet they succeed because on the one hand, they are open source, and those who maintain them do not guarantee anything regarding patents, it is up to each individual user

Hi, I've just played around with kbdmap in pxelinux. I always wondered why there was no translation for "AltGr"-Keys (the right 'Alt'-Key) (AltGr-Q generates "@" on a german keyboard e.g.), and I found in conio.inc (syslinux 1.76): getchar: [..] .kbd: xor ax,ax ; Get keyboard input int 16h and al,al jz .func_key mov bx,KbdMap ; Convert character sets

Everyone, I have modified the yp cgi script on dir.xiph.org to reject non-ogg streams. As the site has grown in popularity, it hasn't scaled well, and maintaining the database was eating most of the resources on the server. We did some minor tuning a few months ago which helped, but the load has continuted to grow and was affecting other more essential services. Given Xiph.org's
