[ipxe-devel] infinite loop in makefile

[Walker, Scott]

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.

make --version
