Hi, Am not able to find documentation for building wimboot file
Please share any link or reference for building same

[mcb30]

git clone https://github.com/ipxe/wimboot
cd wimboot/src
make

[clvpr]

I am executing make on ubuntu machine, please suggest if I am missing any packages

[mcb30]

Thanks .. when am trying to make getting error as Makefile:176: recipe for target 'efireloc' failed
Please suggest on this

Please show the full error message, including the preceding lines.

If you don't have any particular need to build wimboot from source, then I would suggest that you just follow the instructions at https://ipxe.org/wimboot#download_wimboot to use the prebuilt binary.

Hi
Please find error details
administrator@administrator-virtual-machine:~/Documents/wimboot-master (1)/wimboot-master/src$ make
cc -Wall -W -Werror -I/usr/include -I/usr/include -I/usr/include -idirafter . efireloc.c -L/usr/lib -L/usr/lib -L/usr/lib -lbfd -ldl -liberty -lz -Wl,--no-warn-search-mismatch -o efireloc

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lz
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:176: recipe for target 'efireloc' failed
make: *** [efireloc] Error 1
Thanks

You will need to install the relevant library packages as indicated by the error message:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -liberty
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lz

If you do not already know how to solve this, then I would very strongly suggest that you should probably just be using the prebuilt wimboot binary.
