[CentOS] efi-app-x86_64 on 5.5?

2010-07-28 Thread Jason Pyeron
I am trying to bring in a fedora 13 rpm, when compiliny objcopy is given a
target of efi-app-x86_64, when I do a objcopy --info it is not listed.

It does list many elf (including 64 bit) and efi-app-ia32 bit

Any suggestions, what additional information could I provide.

Trying to compile binutil from fedora 13... It is supposed to address this with
a higher version

You will find out that some things are hit or miss.  Then at times you
will break the build machine with the newer binutils.  Fedora rpms do
not always work or build for RH/CentOS.

Why not give the exact error from the build out put.

 binutils.  Fedora rpms do not always work or build for RH/CentOS.

I got binutils and gnu-efi to compile now. They are a necessary evil at the
moment, as the end goal is to compile grub
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=499204)

 Why not give the exact error from the build out put.

(there is an air gap separating the system from the world of email)

OK
You try the GRAPHICAL=NO option ?  Currious I have few people on those
desktops.

A simple copy and paste from the console or mock logs.

/etc/sysconfig/init: GRAPHICAL=no
/boot/grub/grub.conf: vga=normal
/boot/grub/grub.conf: #splash...

No luck. Going back to compiling grub (configure issue with ncurses/termcap and
-ltinfo [there is no libtinfo.a on the filesystem])

I work in a secure environment, there are no documents (sticky notes, etc) or
signals (including emails) alowed to leave the room. I remember the issue, go to
another workstation, do a search / write an email.
