Syslinux - Jul 2013 - make efi64 install in syslinux-6.02-pre3 fail

Hello,

I tried to make my own binary with 'make efi64 install' but it fail with

make[3]: *** No rule to make target
`/root/syslinux-6.02-pre3/efi64/efi/../core//writestr.o', needed by
`syslinux.so'.  Stop.
make[3]: Leaving directory `/root/syslinux-6.02-pre3/efi64/efi'
make[2]: *** [install] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/syslinux-6.02-pre3/efi64'
make[1]: *** [efi64] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/syslinux-6.02-pre3'
make: *** [efi64] Error 2

Would this also create memdisk for efi64 boot?

Regards
Michael

Sorry about that. I've fixed the Makefiles in 6.02-pre4.

No, memdisk is inherently tied to bios and isn't build for efi32/efi64.

Hi Matt,

thanks for your response.

Would there be memdisk or a similar program/methode to emulate a cdrom and boot
from a iso file available for efi boot in the future.
I need this, because the *stupid* installer check from which medium the system
was booted and if it's not cd than it fail.

Thanks and regards
Michael
