Found a couple of other things out, so again, just to have the info "on the list" ahead of looking to update the hint. 3) The efivar-devel and efibootmgr-devel packages I nitiall found were from a personal repo belonging to one of the rhlinstaller Git project, and the "proper" sources are found under that repo. https://github.com/rhinstaller/efibootmgr/ https://github.com/rhinstaller/efivar/ 4) The updated, compared to the hint, efibootmgr v0.12 didn't build against the efivar v30 because a lot changed in the latter. efibootmgr v14 did build against efivar v30, and despite the efivar test failing (still awaiting some feedback on that) I was able to get efibootmgr to interrogate my UEFI settings 5) The hint's build dependency section doesn't mention the Unifont stuff that does get a mention further down but again the version has moved on from Dan's list unifont-7.0.05 -> unifont-9.0.06 6) Hopefully (latest version no rendered as I write) you spotted the gramatical error in my reworking of the note, vis: > ... > can be booted using the LFS system's Grub without such an addition, if UEFI > Mode > and Secure Boot capabilities, in the host system's BIOS, need to be turned > off. which doesn't make sense and should be can be booted using the LFS system's Grub without such an addition, if UEFI Mode and Secure Boot capabilities, in the host system's BIOS, are turned off. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
