Always strip all the modules

2013-01-17T18:54:40+00:00

Always strip the modules; they are too big unstripped.  Specifically,
we generate unstripped *.elf files, and then convert them to
stripped *.c32 files.

Merge branch 'elflink' into firmware

2013-01-08T16:29:05+00:00

Merge the changes since Syslinux-5.00. The main reason behind this
merge is to pull in the following bug fix, commit 90b5864fc793
("core/kaboom.c: Export __bad_SEG()"), which allows us to turn on
debugging in mk/devel.mk without ldlinux.c32 failing to load.

elflink: set the sonames of shared libraries

2013-01-03T17:29:51+00:00

Set the sonames of shared libraries to the filename, so we don't end
up with full pathnames embedded in the files.

Merge tag 'syslinux-5.00-pre10' into for-hpa/elflink/firmware

2012-11-14T10:50:27+00:00

Pull in the latest prerelease that includes some bug fixes for ldlinux
and a realloc() bug in core/.

ldlinux: get_key() requires raw access to user input

2012-11-02T14:06:18+00:00

commit 4503e6260c0 ("ldlinux: Use stdcon instead of rawcon for the
console") broke get_key() because it was no longer possible to read
raw data from stdin. Provide a new function raw_read() that will
return user input a character at a time.

Add per-firmware object directory support

2012-10-16T10:38:01+00:00

Now that we have multiple firmware backends it no longer makes sense
to write object files to the same directory as their source. A better
solution is to write the object files to a per-firmware directory
under a top-level object directory.

The top-level object directory can be specified on the command-line
with the O= variable, e.g. make O=/tmp/obj. If no top-level object
directory is specified an 'obj' directory is created in the top-level
of the Syslinux source repository.

All the existing make targets continue to work as before, however now
they apply to all firmware backends, e.g. 'make installer' will build
the BIOS, 32-bit EFI and 64-bit EFI installers and place them under
$(OBJ)/bios, $(OBJ)/efi32 and $(OBJ)/efi64 respectively.

Note unlike every other bit of Syslinux, the gpxe objects are still
kept in the src directory, e.g. gpxe/src, since gpxe is only required
by the BIOS backend.

It is possible to specify a make target for a specific firmware or
list of firmware with the following syntax,

    make [firmware[,firmware]] [target[,target]]

To clean the object directory for just the BIOS firmware type,

      'make bios clean'

To build both the 32-bit and 64-bit EFI installers type,

     'make efi32 efi64 installer'

Since the Syslinux make infrastructure is now more complex a new file
doc/building.txt has been created to explain how to build Syslinux.

The top-level Makefile now exports some make variables for use in
module Makefiles,

    - topdir - the top-level source directory of the Syslinux
      repository, e.g. /usr/src/syslinux

    - objdir - the top-level object directory for the firmware
      backend currently being built, e.g. /obj/syslinux/bios

    - SRC - the source directory in the Syslinux repository for the
      module currently being built,
      e.g. /usr/src/syslinux/com32/libupload

    - OBJ - the object directory for the module currently being
      built, e.g. /obj/syslinux/bios/com32/libupload

Since we're rewriting the Makefile infrastructure anyway it seemed
like a good idea to add parallel support. By writing subdirectories as
prequisites for make targets the objects in those subdirectories can
be built in parallel.

Fix Makefile install targets

2012-07-04T10:21:19+00:00

Some Makefiles were still referring to libutil_com.a, even though we
stopped producing that file with commit 74518b8b691c ("elflink: Make
ELF the default object format"). Delete all references to avoid the
following install error,

	install: cannot stat `libutil_com.a': No such file or directory

Remove the install target from com32/elflink as we no longer build any
of the test modules, and so don't need to install them.

Also, we need to add ldlinux.c32 to the list of modules that *must* be
installed for all targets, since it is required for Syslinux to
function correctly.

ldlinux: Accept commands from the serial console

2011-12-02T12:13:31+00:00

To mimic the old (pre-elflink) command-line interface behaviour let's
use getchar() instead of reading from stdin. This way, if the user
types a command on the serial console it will actually be executed.
