similar to: Re: Problem compiling syslinux-3.01

In my last post I pasted the last few line of the compile log for syslinux-3.02pre2. Here are the correct lines from my failed attempt to compile syslinux-3.01. Still the same error. make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/syslinux-3.01/unix' make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/syslinux-3.01/extlinux' gcc -Wp,-MT,extlinux.o,-MMD,.extlinux.o.d -W -Wall -Wno-sign-compare

I haven't seen this problem mentioned in the syslinux archive yet so here goes: >From the last few lines of the compile log: make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/syslinux-3.02-pre2/unix' make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/syslinux-3.02-pre2/extlinux' gcc -Wp,-MT,extlinux.o,-MMD,.extlinux.o.d -W -Wall -Wno-sign-compare -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -g -Os -I. -I.. -I../libfat -c -o

Tying up lose ends, and adding the ethersel module for the Etherboot folks. -hpa Changes in 3.02: * SYSLINUX: The "unix" installer now sets the MS-DOS attributes (hidden, system, readonly.) * COM32 library: build the .lnx (test modules for running under Linux) as architecture native modules, in case i386 devel libraries aren't

Some people have reported portability problems with SYSLINUX 3.00, mostly due to the use of HDIO_GETGEO_BIG, which is deprecated; additionally, the advanced menu system wouldn't build for everyone due to a spurious reference to %ebp. This release fixes these things, plus makes the extlinux installer default to zipdisk geometry (64 heads, 32 sectors) if it can't guess anything else.

Thanks. Any chance to update the changelog as well. The NEWS file in the archive over at https://www.zytor.com/pub/syslinux/Testing/6.04/ only lists changes for 6.03 On Tue, Feb 5, 2019 at 5:08 PM H.

Hi,, I wud just like to inform that the previous issue of memdisk not booting compressed images still persists !! The release 2.05 that was supposed to fix this issue dint yet solve the problem !! Please, let me know if more info on the problem is required !! Bye, Jassi >From: syslinux-request at zytor.com >Reply-To: syslinux at zytor.com >To: syslinux at zytor.com >Subject:

I have pushed out a 3.02-pre1 release of SYSLINUX, which has the BLKGETSIZE64 patch, plus a few other things: Changes in 3.02 (so far): * SYSLINUX: The "unix" installer now sets the MS-DOS attributes (hidden, system, readonly.) * COM32 library: build the .lnx (test modules for running under Linux) as architecture native modules, in case

I have released SYSLINUX 2.10-pre2. I *really* would like testing reports for this one, especially ISOLINUX, since I've included Knut Petersen's fix for Award BIOSes... Changes in 2.10: * MEMDISK: Handle images compressed with zip as well as with gzip. Some Windows-based image tools apparently generate these kinds of images by default. Patch by Patrick

It appears that increasing the command line limit to 1023 caused the .bss memory area to overflow. Unfortunately NASM didn't detect this as it ought to have and therefore I didn't catch it as an error. I have dropped the command line limit to 511 characters and released it as 3.09-pre2. This is a release candidate; please test it out and if it works I'll make it 3.09. -hpa

I have just pushed out SYSLINUX 3.73-pre2. This prerelease adds support for the fact that the ACPI 3 definition changes the E820 memory detection spec in an incompatible(!!!) manner. Please test it out, as I'd really like to push a 3.73 out as soon as possible. -hpa
