similar to: linking external library into module

Thank you for the confirmation about the ABI issue. I'm a bit puzzled by your answer for my #2, below. I could easily be missing something, but I was under the impression that what I had changed was the position of the command line flags to ld, not the relative position and ordering of the linked libraries. Am I misunderstanding what is stored in $(LDFLAGS)? I mean, I'm not ending up

I guess there were no dendrites to tickle. I did come up with a partial answer, although why exactly these items are required is still somewhat of a mystery to me. I'll probably investigate further at some point to see about getting a full answer, but here's what I came up with so far. So, in case anyone else is giving this a try: 1) It appears that external libraries will not link

I'm seeing some sporadic build failures with 'make -j4'. The failures are: make[4]: *** No rule to make target 'hello.c32', needed by 'all'. Stop. I've only seen the failures with com32/samples/hello.c32 and com32/rosh/rosh.c32. I'm not a make expert, but I think it's due to missing dependencies. This patch seems to fix my failures, but I'm

From: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming at linux.intel.com> This series includes a patch (PATCH 1/6) that I sent previously but I thought it was worth sending it again since the rest of the series depends on it, and it also gives a bit of context. These cleanups make it simpler to do the big switchover to ELF modules on the elflink branch because the libraries in $LIBS are now contained in one

From: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming at intel.com> The first two patches in this series are fixes for bugs reported by someone in #syslinux. The third makes dmitest.c32 actually wait for user input. If no one has any objections/concerns, I'll pull this into the official elflink branch. Matt Fleming (3): core: Print error message if we don't load ldlinux.c32 Clean up $(GPLLIB) leak

This patch builds a floppy image with contains HDT, so users of GRUB or GRUB4DOS can use HDT too, without installing Syslinux. When you compile Syslinux, this floppy image isn't build automatically. To build it, runthe following from the extracted Syslinux source: $ cd ./com32/hdt $ make hdt.img As suggested by Pierre-Alexandre Meyer, all extra files required for building the floppy

I'm hoping this tickles some dendrites as both google and the various documentation doesn't seem to provide any insight. I'm writing a com32 module for use on a x86-32 machine with a BIOS (not EFI). The code that I write into the module executes correctly. However, I also have a static library that has several routines that I want to use. The static library doesn't rely on any

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:

From: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming at linux.intel.com> This series fixes some bugs and switches the elflink branch to be entirely ELF modules. It applies on top of, http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2011-April/016369.html The deletions in the diff stat below are mainly from deleting com32/elflink/modules (finally!). Now there should be no duplicate code because we don't need COM32 and

Hi, I'd like to link Clang against the STP theorem prover. Since Clang is built by the LLVM build system, I hope this is the correct place to ask for advice. The attached patch allows me to pass `configure` a --with-stp option and provide a path to the install prefix for STP. However, I am not familiar with autoconf, so I am not confident that my changes are the correct way to do this. I

From: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming at intel.com> The following patch series is available at, git://git.zytor.com/users/mfleming/syslinux.git elflink All patches are against the 'elflink' branch.

Hi Peter, The main part of this pull request includes commits that try to replace as many __intcall() invocations as possible. Some remain, but not many (and eventually they'll be gone too). There's also a patch to make better use of ld's --as-needed option and various other bug fixes/cleanups. The following changes since commit ff7334a2ce536b7f4b1f6d6f93ff4e285a3bd45a: Only

This patch adds to Com32 modules the capabilities of accessing the EFI environment The idea is simple, the EFI parameters "image" and "table" received by syslinux.efi's efi_main() are stored in the "firmware" structure, next they are retrieved from the Com32 module which is linked against the gnu-efi static library. The Com32 module can use the EFI

From: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming at linux.intel.com> Move the MCONFIG files into a mk/ directory and give them more descriptive names. This is purely a cosmetic change to make the 'include' directives a bit more coherent by making it obvious exactly which MCONFIG file we're including. For example, in com32/lua/src/Makefile we exchange the line, include ../../MCONFIG for the

Hi, This series targets automatic boot menu generation, but most of it is the Lua upgrade, because I got tired reading deprecated API docs. It's mostly a straightforward forward port of the earlier Syslinux specific changes to Lua 5.1, except that: * I chose the add a stub getenv() implementation to the COM32 API instead of #ifdefing out all the references in Lua, and * I kept oslib

hello everybody, apologies if I'm missing something here Just tried to build 6.04-pre1 test version with: make bios installer and found some problems all (seemingly) related to inaccurate paths in various Makefiles. I enclose a complete patch at the end of this email, which details the problems I found and how they got fixed for me. As an example, this is the first error I got:
