7.15. Yaboot-1.3.13

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 CLFS cannot do. We also need to use the 32-bit compiler, and to force ld to use a 32-bit emulation. The following commands will fix and achieve this:

cp Makefile,{.orig}
sed -e "s/\(-print-libgcc-file-name\)/${BUILD32} \1/" \
            -e "s/\(-Bstatic\)/-melf32ppclinux \1/" \
            -e "s/\(strip \)/${CLFS_TARGET}-\1/" \
            -e 's/-o root -g root//' \
    Makefile.orig > Makefile

Compile the package:

CFLAGS=${BUILD32} make CROSS=${CLFS_TARGET}-

Install the package:

make CROSS=${CLFS_TARGET}- ROOT=/tools PREFIX= install 2>&1 | tee instlog

To ensure that the install was successful, run the following command:

grep 'powerpc:common64' instlog

If the command gave you any output (... is incompatible with powerpc:common output) the build of yaboot is broken and you will have to correct your error(s) and repeat it.
