similar to: malloc in libcom32 broken?

Peter- Can you please clarify the license of libcom32, from the samples directory in syslinux? I am attempting to create .c32 files that are not encumbered by the GPL, but the conio.c file states that is is covered by the GPL. So far, I have resisted linking with libcom32.a, but is it really your intent to license the library code under GPL, and not something more like the LGPL?

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

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 there, i just build a new ipxelinux.0 with an EMBED=../../syslinux-5/core/pxelinux.0. i'm trying to load up my vesamenu.c32 menu from http:. and offcorse i want this as optimal as possible, with the least needed GET requests. OLD situation with v4: PXE ROM -> ipxelinux.0 (tftp) -> menu.php (http) -> vesamenu.c32 (http) NEW situation with v5: PXE ROM -> ipxelinux.0 (tftp)

I'm not seeing how to set this path option? Here is what I get using vesamenu.c32 as an example when moved to a directory outside of the build. The current syslinux 4.06 has all the files in the same directory which is at the root of the cd. ldd vesamenu.c32 linux-gate.so.1 => (0xb77c5000) ../../com32/libutil/libutil_com.c32 => not found ../../com32/lib/libcom32.c32 => not found

Hello all Tried hard to create a Boot Floppy using Syslinux-5.00 but NO success. I have Win98se installed on C: drive.

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

All, I was excited to hear about EFI boot support in pxelinux >= 6.00. So I tried it. Not working. I've tried 6.02 (from source), 6.02 (from RPM), early 6.03 (from RPM) and even pulled/compiled latest source from git. 6.0.3-pre7. No love. My boot client can boot/image fine in legacy PXE mode. My dhcpd.conf looks like this: # In initial DHCP DISCOVER packet, PXE client sets option

Hello, The attached l32or64.c implements a com32 module that boots two different kernels with different initrds depending on whether the cpu has long mode support or not. I stumbled upon two problems while developing it with current git version (last commit 595705ffad4f63cfeb84e9bb1243df03808c2fff). The first was that syslinux_boot_linux didn't work for me. Both the command line and initrd

Hello! I've been attempting to add EFI support to a linux live distro (slax), it's built on a syslinux bootloader. I can get EFI to work using menu.c32 on syslinux 6.03; however ideally we'd like the VESA menu as well. When we use the vesamenu.c32 and libcom32.c32 from 6.03 we end up with a blank screen and the machine seems to hang. I've tried adding MENU RESOLUTION based on

Gene, First off, great documentation on http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/PXELINUX-Multi-Arch You clearly lay out the various techniques. Just last week, I presented a pxelinux talk to our local Linux meet-up group. (I've given this talk before.) http://2014.texaslinuxfest.org/content/creating-legacy-efi-pxe-server-using-pxelinux.html Apparently, I'm using the "distinct

works with legacy, hangs with efi. where works is: No DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found! but enter and ^v make things happen hangs is: nothing happens, no response from keyboard, have to reboot. note: config prompt.cfg prompt.cfg does not exist, but I would expect similar behaviour between efi and legacy. test is: starting with blank image, mkfs, mount it... + cp

Hi Peter, Please pull the following changes. Paulo, I had to revert your "pxe: resolve names via DNS from protected-mode code" change because dns_resolv() is only implemented for PXELINUX and causes undefined symbol references for ISOLINUX, etc. Feel free to make the change again on top of the revert. The following changes since commit e7bd19def830e8341b1a100956345f1028740b9e:

1) mk/syslinux.mk runs a shell to make a temp file gcc_ok.$$$$.tmp (perhaps in the wrong directory) while several Makefiles have an include rule for *.tmp which I believe is causing some occasional parallel build issues. make[3]: Entering directory `/home/gene/s/g/bios/memdump' gcc_ok.6333.tmp:1: warning: NUL character seen; rest of line ignored gcc_ok.6333.tmp:1: *** missing separator.
