Hello,

When building from the latest git master branch:

[BUILD] bin/image.o
core/image.c: In function ‘alloc_image’:
core/image.c:68:3: error: the comparison will always evaluate as ‘false’
for the address of ‘free_image’ will never be NULL [-Werror=address]
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
make: *** [bin/image.o] Error 1

I also noticed the latest commit is very old:

commit c23508d796325f8af724ad497c99ffb5a49abea0
Author: Marty Connor <m...@etherboot.org>
Date: Mon Aug 15 20:57:04 2011 -0400

Is gPXE a dead project? Or do I just have the wrong remote configured:

origin git://git.etherboot.org/scm/gpxe.git (fetch)

Thanks for any help,

--Bart

Hi Bart-

Your git origin looks correct.  What build flags are being used?

I've personally not seen much chatter on these lists in quite a while.  That said, poke at the IRC channels.   I was able to talk directly with Marty C. and received excellent help.

Considering the age of the last commit, the project owners may have taken up other gauntlets.  If the code is still able to be pulled the project is never dead. ;-)

Hope this helps and let's dive into why you are not getting a clean compilation.

George

Please have a look at iPXE (http://ipxe.org/).
