From: Sylvain Gault <sylvain.gault at gmail.com> These patches basically remove unused linker scripts and port a change that was made to an unused script. Those are to be applied on top of the gcc 5 bug fixes as they would conflict otherwise.

Hi, I am trying to compile the version on rhel 5.x box. Nasm version 0.98.39 I extracted the tar.gz and ran make in the extracted directory. Here is where it stops. gcc -Wp,-MT,rawcon.o,-MD,./.rawcon.o.d -m32 -ffreestanding -fno-stack-protector -fwrapv -freg-struct-return -march=i386 -Os -fomit-frame-pointer -mregparm=3 -DREGPARM=3 -msoft-float -fno-exceptions -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables

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.

Ok, I tried to modify mk/devel.mk to put: GCCWARN += -Wno-clobbered -DCORE_DEBUG=1 -DDEBUG_MALLOC -DDEBUG_THREAD And removing the -DDYNAMIC_DEBUG but now syslinux doesn't

Ok I can drop them, but that doesn't change the

Well, there is now a development branch in the git repository, which contains the infrastructure needed for rewriting the core in C. As an initial test case it simply contains a "Hello, World!" and a rewrite of rllpack in C. This is not production code in any way: SYSLINUX (the FAT version) is completely broken (I haven't had time to fix the installers yet) and the Linux kernel

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

Hello, all, I'm trying to get Wine running on some Red Hat boxes at my University (don't worry, I have permission!) ... But, I don't have any root access to the boxes, and I'm limited to installing on my shared (AFS) space. In any case, I'd probably want it to run from my user space anyways, so that its accessible from all boxes on the network. Some required information,

From: Sylvain Gault <sylvain.gault at gmail.com> As there is no need for an x86_64 linker script, the i386 one can be put in the core directory directly. This partially revert commit d8eede3f2a360163235fad222a0190cd7c5bef38 which splitted several linker scripts into i386 and x86_64 versions.

I have, hopefully, found and fixed the issue with non-kernel binaries that appeared in 3.35. As a result, I have pushed out 3.36-pre6 and am classifying it as a release candidate. Please try it out, especially if you have had problems with 3.35. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa

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

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?
