Hi,

gnu-efi has amd64 support.  Any chance to have refit for amd64 too?

What's needed is a 32bit gnu-efi on amd64, not a 64bit one, because
the EFI PROM on the Intel Mac is 32bit.

So the amd64 gnu-efi that landed into unstable some weeks ago isn't
suitable to build refit on amd64 (which still needs to be a 32bit
binary and not a 64bit one, I hope that's clear now).

Moreover the latest refit needs a newer EFI environment than the one
included in gnu-efi currently, so that, too, needs to happen.


In a nutshell: nothing changed, progress is being made, albeit slowly,
and I'm actively tracking this issue and working with the gnu-efi

Thank you for these remarks.

If I understand correctly http://wiki.debian.org/MacBook#head-c01ca021c676fa6c705b7b67480d10fc689a050c debian amd64 cannot be installed on a MacBookPro, but i386 (with or without amd64 kernel). I would really love to use amd64 on it.

Cheers,
