syslinux: support ext2/3/4 device

2015-02-15T08:11:19+00:00

* Support ext2/3/4 deivce.
* The open_ext2_fs() checks whether it is an ext2/3/4 device,
  do the ext2/3/4 installation (install_to_ext2()) if yes, otherwise go
  on to the fat/ntfs.
* The ext2/3/4 support doesn't require root privileges since it doesn't need
  mount (but write permission is required).

Next:
* Get rid of fat filesystem from the boot image.

These patches have been sent to upstream, we may adjust them (maybe put
the extX support to syslinux-mtools), I will go on working with the
upstream.

syslinux: fix race issue

2014-08-16T07:10:53+00:00

Fixed do_install failed:
cp -r syslinux-6.01/com32/libupload/*.h image/usr/share/syslinux/com32/include/
[snip]
rm -rf image/usr/share/syslinux/com32/include
[snip]
cp: cannot create regular file `image/usr/share/syslinux/com32/include/serial.h': No such file or directory

The cp is happened in the "libupload" dir, while "rm -fr" is happend in
"lib" dir, let "libupload" depend "lib" will fix the problem.

syslinux: fix reinstall error

2014-08-11T09:46:59+00:00

Fixed:
make: *** No rule to make target `/path/to/sysroot/4.9.0/include/stdarg.h', needed by `cpio.o'.  Stop.
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
ERROR: oe_runmake failed

This happens when upgrade gcc from 4.9.0 to 4.9.1, and the .cpio.o.d isn't
regenerated when recompile (the compile happens when do_install), the content
of it are:

[snip]
cpio.o: /path/to/sysroot/4.9.0/include/stdarg.h
[snip]

And Makefile includes the .cpio.o.d file if it exists, so there would be
errors when /path/to/sysroot/4.9.0/include/stdarg.h doesn't exist.

Remove .*.d (a few .d files, its Makefile uses this wildcard) will fix
the problem.

syslinux: fix isohybird overflows on 32 bit system

2014-06-24T18:53:02+00:00

When call isohybrid with option '-u', it overflows on a 32 bits host. It
seeks to 512 bytes before the end of the image to install gpt header. If
the size of image is larger than LONG_MAX, it overflows fseek() and
cause error:

isohybrid: wrlinux-image-x86-64-20140505110100.iso: seek error - 8: Invalid argument

Replace fseek with fseeko to fix this issue.

syslinux-native: fix parallel building issue

2014-05-20T13:50:32+00:00

There might be an error when parallel build:

[snip]
cp: cannot create directory `tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/share/
syslinux/com32/include/gplinclude': No such file or directory
make[4]: *** [install] Error 1
make[3]: *** [gpllib] Error 2
[snip]

This is a potential issue. In ${S}/com32/gpllib/Makefile file,
install target wants to copy $(SRC)/../gplinclude to
$(INSTALLROOT)$(COM32DIR)/include/ directory, but in ${S}/com32/lib/Makefile
file, the install target will remove $(INSTALLROOT)$(COM32DIR)/include
directory. We need to do com32/lib first.

The patch make com32/gpllib depends on com32/lib to fix this issue.

syslinux: fix booting memtest86+ using pxelinux regression

2014-02-02T10:00:34+00:00

After syslinux was updated from 4.07 to 6.01, booting memtest86+ using
pxelinux would fail:
PXELINUX 6.01 2013-07-04 Copyright (C) 1994-2013 H. Peter Anvin et al
Loading memtest86... ok
Booting kernel failed: invalid argument

This backports the necessary upstream patches to allow memtest86+ to
boot using pxelinux again.

Replace one-line DESCRIPTION with SUMMARY

2014-01-02T12:47:33+00:00

A lot of our recipes had short one-line DESCRIPTION values and no
SUMMARY value set. In this case it's much better to just set SUMMARY
since DESCRIPTION is defaulted from SUMMARY anyway and then the SUMMARY
is at least useful. I also took the opportunity to fix up a lot of the
new SUMMARY values, making them concisely explain the function of the
recipe / package where possible.

syslinux: add ability to compile with nativesdk

For regenerating and ISO or EFI boot image the nativesdk needs mtools
and syslinux.
