Hello building iPXE doesn't require a very complicated setup. Most of the tools should be pre-installed on every distribution, but you might have to install gcc and binutils. I don't use SuSE myself, but a quick google search revealed that executing
zypper install -t pattern devel_C_C++ as root should download and install all the packages required for C and C++ development. This should be sufficient for iPXE. Just cd into the src/ directory and type 'make'. It will complain anyway if there's something missing, so you can install it. To get rom-o-matic working on your own server you need a running apache server with PHP installed. Simply copy iPXE somewhere in your wwwroot directory and put the rom-o-matic files into the iPXE directory. There is a config file in the rom-o-matic files where you may have to alter the iPXE source path. Then simply access the URL to your rom-o-matic setup and you should be good to go. It's a good idea to run 'make' in the iPXE directory before you access rom-o-matic though, as the first request could timeout otherwise. In older rom-o-matic versions you also had to manually build 'make bin/NIC', but I believe that is done automatically on newer versions.
