[build] Use __SIZE_TYPE__ macro in definition of size_t

2009-03-31T06:21:07+00:00

This is required in order to build on Mac OS X. Modified-by: Michael Brown Signed-off-by: Michael Brown

[efi] Allow for .efidrv images as well as .efi images

2009-01-07T23:43:26+00:00

Merge in the changes that allow for building EFI driver images (that can be loaded using the EFI shell's "load" command) as well as EFI applications.

[efi] Use elf2efi utility in place of efilink

2009-01-07T22:59:05+00:00

elf2efi converts a suitable ELF executable (containing relocation information, and with appropriate virtual addresses) into an EFI executable. It is less tightly coupled with the gPXE build process and, in particular, does not require the use of a hand-crafted PE image header in efiprefix.S. elf2efi correctly handles .bss sections, which significantly reduces the size of the gPXE EFI executable.

[efi] Inhibit harmless ld warning on unresolved symbol check

2009-01-05T20:54:40+00:00

The check for unresolved symbols does not explicitly specify an output architecture format, and so causes a warning when building an i386 EFI binary on an x86_64 platform. This warning is harmless, and specifying the output architecture in multiple places is cumbersome, so just inhibit the warning.

[x86_64] Add support for compilation as an x86_64 binary

2008-12-05T00:06:27+00:00

Currently the only supported platform for x86_64 is EFI. Building an EFI64 gPXE requires a version of gcc that supports __attribute__((ms_abi)). This currently means a development build of gcc; the feature should be present when gcc 4.4 is released. In the meantime; you can grab a suitable gcc tree from git://git.etherboot.org/scm/people/mcb30/gcc/.git
