|
| From: "Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998 at free.fr>
|
| Hello All!
|
| Here are a few patches to bump and enhance syslinux:
| - patches 1..4: preparatory fixing and cleanup patches
| - patches 5..6: new pacakges, dependency of the new syslinux
| - patch 7 : actual syslinux bump
| - patches 8..9: new options to install new types of blobs
|
| To be noted, the syslinx build system is, well, a bit weird, to say
| the least. There is I hope extensive-enough information about this
| in the bump-patch. Please pay it a bit of attention, it is really
| convoluted, and would benefit from some in-depth review.
|
| Thanks to Frank for his preliminary work on ucl and upx, and to
| Thomas L. whose extlinux patch prompted me to look at syslinux. ;-)
|
| Changes v1 -> v2:
| - explain the need for an ia32 compiler (Arnout)
| - make the image selection a choice (Arnout)
| - improve upx commit log (Arnout)
| - typoes (Arnout)
| - improve help entry for the mbr option
|
I did a quick test on real hardware with extlinux 6.02 and BIOS-legacy configuration.
I reused the same config as for 5.10-pre4, so it's ok for me :)
Tested using serial port and menu.c32 module.
Tested-by Romain Naour <romain.naour at openwide.fr>
Note: all *.c32 modules for the target are installed in $(HOST_DIR)/usr/share/syslinux/
They can be installed in $(STAGING_DIR) instead ?
Thanks,
Romain Naour
