Here is the binary which includes DOS extender support. I think you need

Thanks, I did not find that link.
I tried to build flashrom for DOS on Ubuntu 10.04 following the
instructions in the flashrom README. There are quite a few issues with
missing steps and stuff that simply does not work. I finally gave up
when it could not resolve _valloc.
Hm it works here. I compile with the DJGPP. What have you used?
I followed the instructions in
http://flashrom.org/trac/flashrom/browser/trunk/README
I would very much like to know the rest of the instructions for a
successful cross compile to DOS. I saw that Carl-Daniel Hailfinger has
offered to proved a tar ball of the cross compiler etc but it would be
really good to be able to fix the instructions in the README.
Hm it works here. What exactly you want to improve?
OK from memory this is what I did so some things may be out of order. I
installed the three rpms using alien as I was running Ubuntu. Downloaded
and patched pciutils. Downloaded libgetopt and attempted to compile. I
got errors due to missing header files, sys/version.h and sys/djtypes.h.
After some investigation it seemed that I needed
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2/djcrx203.zip but the
installation instructions for that are for older versions of gcc. So the
include files had to go into /usr/lib/gcc/.... instead of
/usr/local/...., crt0.o was not in a lib directory. Then I was getting
implicit declarations and then unresolved references to _snprintf. So I
had to get an implementation of that off the net and edit the Makefile
to add it to the link. Finally I had to go back and compile stubify and
then libgetopt compiled! pciutils was much easier, I just had to get a
copy of stdint.h from the djgpp website to make that compile. At last I
could move on to actually compiling flashrom. Whereupon I got implicit
declarations and unresolved references to _valloc and I gave up.
So I'd like to work out what went wrong for me that works for you. Also
there was no mention of building dmidecode.exe.
I have now run this and apart from not being able to find 'dmidecode' it
managed to correctly identify the SPI device (a W25x32) on the system
behind an ICH9M-E which is in descriptor mode but not locked down.
The dmidecode.exe is externally called. I included that on the above webpage
too.
Please tell if it works for you.
Thanks, I'll try it tomorrow.
Andrew
