uefi boot

[nnonaka]

Hi,

I'm trying to boot Minix from uefi loader.
I succeed half way. But I don't have enough time to complete.
Is someone interested, it's at https://github.com/nnonaka/minix

Hello,

Good job! Thank you very much for doing this!

I think it would be good if you gathered all your UEFI-related work in a separate branch and opened a pull request.

In my repo, dev* branches are for internal work and I will keep uefiboot branch to buildable.
I opend pull request for uefiboot branch.

UEFIBOOT branch throws an error on build. I used Debian 11 gcc 10 and Ubuntu 22.04 gcc 11 but all reported an error on libgmp configuration: : error: cannot create .lineno; rerun with a POSIX shell
I had modified the buildvars to -V MKLLVM=no (because clang/llvm takes long to build) and -V MKGCCCMDS=yes
Any work arounds?

Sorry, I had been tested on clang/llvm environment only. Maybe it's happened as Minix build tools don't contail autotools, but I'm not sure.
