One note is that I had to compile using the default ancient system gcc
compiler with:
"make -j1 bin/10ec8139.kpxe EMBED=chain.ipxe"
where gcc says:
gcc (SUSE Linux) 4.8.3
An attempt to cross-compile using my preferred 486 toolchain with gcc
7.5 fails because DEPS start going circles forever. For that attempt, I
used:
"make -j1 CROSS_COMPILE=... ARCH=x86 bin/10ec8139.kpxe EMBED=chain.ipxe"
Usually, the command line like above works fine.
Not sure where you got the notion of using "ARCH=x86" from - there is no
"x86" build architecture supported in iPXE, no documentation suggesting
that it does, and no documentation suggesting that "ARCH=..." should
ever be specified on the build command line. This will be the cause of
your circular DEPS problem.
You can keep it simple and just build using any reasonably current (less
than 10 years old) Linux distro's default gcc, with the command:
make bin/10ec8139.pxe
(note .pxe rather than .kpxe - the .kpxe suffix is for the undionly.kpxe
build target only, as per all available documentation).
There is no need to use -j1, and no need for any custom gcc toolchain.
You also have the option of using bin/ipxe.pxe, which will contain the
full set of PCI NIC drivers. There's a prebuilt version downloadable at
all times from
http://boot.ipxe.org/ipxe.pxe
Thanks for testing,
Michael
