[ipxe-devel] infinite loop in makefile

[Walker, Scott]

Hi Christian,

The repo I am using is http://git.ipxe.org/ipxe.git and the specific file that I want is ipxe.efi.

I upgraded to Make 4.1 and the build still loops infinitely in the [DEPS] section.

Specifying bin/ipxe.efi (or .pxe) still causes an infinite loop. I tried looking into your makefile but I can only pinpoint the function where the loop is happening, as the file is past my understanding of Make.

The executable at boot.ipxe.org/ipxe.efi does not work because I can not get to the iPXE command line. Control-B causes the program to exit/crash.

thanks,
Scott Walker

Hi Christian,

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

git log
commit 2afd66eb55996500499eb3bcc39c66ff042679c8
…

Running "git pull && make" loops infinitely whether or not I specify a –j#.

What I'm trying to say here is that Github is not hosting the master
repo, they are mostly in sync, but not always.

Which file do you want?
maybe you can specify it and have better luck, such as make bin/ipxe.pxe

make clean && make works fine for me as well
But that is using a more recent environment with make 4.1
