Syslinux - Oct 2010 - EFI tool chain

Peter (and or others at Syslinux),



The most recent open source EFI development environment I?ve found is
gnu-efi-3.0i ? which still appears to be a prototype.  Do you have something
better and if so are you allowing public contributions yet?


I presume fasm is part of the tool chain; is gcc being used or some other C
compiler?

Erm, let me retract that:  I presume NASM is part of the tool chain...

FWIW, iPXE (http://git.ipxe.org/ipxe.git) has a working open source EFI build 
environment.  You can see it in action using something like

  git clone git://git.ipxe.org/ipxe.git
  cd ipxe/src
  make bin-x86_64-efi/ipxe.efi

gcc version 4.4 or later is required in order to get support for the
"ms_abi"
attribute, and the EFI headers are used pretty much verbatim from the EDK.
