I'm trying to build DuetPkg for X64 on Arch Linux x86_64, using GCC46
toolchain, but struggling to keep the size down because of the dreaded
GenPage error, which currently reads:
/home/miki/vcs/git/tianocore/edk2/Build/DuetPkgX64/DEBUG_GCC46/FV/
EfildrPure: ERROR 16386: Invalid parameter option
Input file size (0x7a54c) exceeds the Page Table Offset (0x70000)
Things which I have tried (but which haven't helped enough yet):
- Use the latest GCC compiler available for my OS (GCC 4.9.0) with the
GCC48 toolchain tag
This fails with another error (which is a known issue):
"GenFw" -e DXE_DRIVER -o /home/miki/vcs/git/tianocore/edk2/Build/
DuetPkgX64/DEBUG_GCC48/X64/DuetPkg/DxeIpl/DxeIpl/DEBUG/DxeIpl.efi /home/
miki/vcs/git/tianocore/edk2/Build/DuetPkgX64/DEBUG_GCC48/X64/DuetPkg/
DxeIpl/DxeIpl/DEBUG/DxeIpl.dll
GenFw: ERROR 3000: Invalid
Unsupported section alignment.
- Disable as many things as possible in DuetPkg/DuetPkg.fdf:
Scouring the net for information, and using my own imagination, I've
disabled the following:
#INF MdeModulePkg/Bus/Scsi/ScsiBusDxe/ScsiBusDxe.inf
#INF MdeModulePkg/Bus/Scsi/ScsiDiskDxe/ScsiDiskDxe.inf
#INF IntelFrameworkModulePkg/Bus/Isa/IsaSerialDxe/IsaSerialDxe.inf
#INF IntelFrameworkModulePkg/Bus/Isa/IsaFloppyDxe/IsaFloppyDxe.inf
+#FILE FREEFORM = PCD
(gEfiIntelFrameworkModulePkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdLogoFile) {
+# SECTION RAW = MdeModulePkg/Logo/Logo.bmp
+# }
Yet, apparently, this is still not enough, the GenPage error keeps
popping up no matter how hard I try. Are there any other ways of keeping
the size down?
>From what I've read, people seem to be having success building with
Visual Studio. Is this toolchain really that much better than GCC?
I know there are projects out there like Clover Boot Loader and such, but
I'd rather stick to vanilla Duet from edk2.
Any suggestions on how to solve this?
Kind regards,
Alain Kalker
