Hi Christian,

I am indeed using the official iPXE git repo, trying to build 
iPXE<http://ipxe.org/download>, and all of our packages meet the requirements 
listed. Here is the output of my git log:

[pixbuf] Enable PNG format by default
Enable IMAGE_PNG (but not IMAGE_PNM) by default, and drag in the
relevant objects only when image_pixbuf() is present in the binary.

[build] Remove more obsolete explicit object requirements

Running "git pull && make" loops infinitely whether or not I specify a –j#.
I attempted to compile on a different machine with CentOS/Make 3.81/Xeon v3 
processors and it looped infinitely.
It also had the same problem on a machine with Ubuntu/Make v4.0/Xeon v2.

thanks,
Scott Walker

Hello,

I was unable to use the precompiled binary of iPXE because control-B appears
to be making it crash instead of going to the command line. I’ve been trying
to compile the source from github (which is current as of today) but there
is an infinite loop in the makefile.

The loop appears to be in the “deps_template_file” function. I left it
running for 25 minutes but it keeps looping through and printing all of the
"[DEPS]" output.

Here is the info for the machine I am using to compile iPXE.

Hi,
Official git repo is located at http://git.ipxe.org/ipxe.git

What are you building? a git pull gives me 2afd66eb55
Followed by a make -j16 everything works without issues here on a
Gentoo install.

Not tested a boot so can't comment on Ctrl+B but official builds are
available att boot.ipxe.org

/Christian
