The original issue for me is that the hint is all about building an UEFI-capable _LFS_ whereas that ONE EXTRA PIECE in the kernel build is something that needs to be done, so as to make an LFS systems' kernel bootable from an exisiting UEFI-capable _HOST_, so it's not exactly the same thing. > If you want to update the hint, send it to me and I will put it > in the appropriate location. I was wondering about that. I am trying to build with the latest of the hint's non-BLFS packages, given that they've moved on from Dan McGhee's versions, vis: dosfstools-3.0.26.tar.gz -> dosfstools-3.0.28.tar.gz efivar-devel-0.12.tar.gz -> efivar-devel-30.tar.gz efibootmgr-devel-efibootmgr-0.9.0.tar.gz -> efibootmgr-devel-efibootmgr-0.12.tar.gz The later dosfstools builds OK, but I have just hit an issue with efivars, see, https://github.com/rhinstaller/efivar/issues/78 so I'll await the resolution of that before looking to fully refresh the hint. For anyone following this for now, be aware that: 1) The issue I raised highlights the one change I had to make to Dan's recipie, sed 's|-O0|-Os|g' -i Make.defaults becomes sed 's|-O2|-Os|g' -i Make.defaults 2) I need to rebuild BLFS's popt with --enable-static (The BLFS default is --disable-static), although the hint doesn't mention that, it just says build popt as per the book, so, what version of the BLFS book would Dan have been writing the hint against in 2014? Would that have been a "static" build of popt, back then, or have the efivar's requirements changed in the meantime?
