Is this a known > problem? Is building under MinGW even supported? Building on Windows is not supported, not even with Cygwin. I seem to recall that I have heard that someone have had luck with Cygwin, but I'm not sure. I'd suggest you check the mailing-list archives if you're interested in that. You'll need a more Unix-like environment to build iPXE. Our current recommendation is to create a virtual machine and install a Linux distribution like Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora or CentOS for compiling your custom ipxe binary. If you want to keep trying, one of the core developers might be able to tell you what that error message actually means (I'm not one of them). The first thing I'd check is that you're using a recent version of your assembler. It could also be a side-effect of how filesystem paths work on Windows, and the makefile and tools are not setup to handle that (but I'm just guessing). -- Robin _______________________________________________ ipxe-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ipxe.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/ipxe-devel
