The Yaboot package contains a PowerPC Boot Loader for machines using Open Firmware such as NewWorld Macintoshes.
Yaboot has a compilation error. The following patch properly fixes the issue:
patch -Np1 -i ../yaboot-1.3.13-fix-1.patch
The following patch removes a redundant test which prevents ofpath from executing against SATA disks:
patch -Np1 -i ../yaboot-1.3.13-ofpath_sata-1.patch
The following patch allows ofpath to use PATH_PREFIX like the other ybin scripts:
patch -Np1 -i ../yaboot-1.3.13-ofpath_path_prefix-1.patch
The Makefile is already set to do kernel-style cross-compiling, but it will try to use strip to strip the second-stage loader. It also expects to be running as root for the install, and to install for the root user, which user LFS cannot do. The following command will fix this:
cp Makefile,{.orig}
sed -e "s/\(strip \)/${LFS_TARGET}-\1/" \
-e 's/-o root -g root//' \
Makefile.orig > Makefile
Compile the package:
make CROSS=${LFS_TARGET}-
Install the package:
make CROSS=${LFS_TARGET}- ROOT=/tools PREFIX= install
