Hi all, I'm building extlinux on a rather limited linux system (LFS), bios version (no efi). Unfortunately, extlinux.txt does not contain any information related to build procedures and dependencies. python /sources/syslinux-6.03pre11/com32/cmenu/menugen.py --input=/sources/syslinux-6.03pre11/com32/cmenu/test2.menu --output=test2.c --template=/sources/syslinux-6.03pre11/com32/cmenu/adv_menu.tpl make[4]: python: Command not found What are the dependencies besides python? Could using python be avoided while building extlinux? Thanks in advance, Alexey

Due to the setup that the root Makefile does, it may be necessary to prune parts of the Makefile temporarily. I presume you're already using "make bios" as the prefix to all make commands you execute? --Gene
