Compilation Instructions

Required libraries and headers for compilation

If you are building from a git checkout, make sure that you have cloned the git submodules as well, e.g.

git submodule update --init

Arch Linux

# libs
pacman -S gnu-efi-libs pciutils

# build tools
pacman -S gcc make automake autoconf autoconf-archive libtool pkg-config python

# test dependencies
pacman -S check bash-bats

Debian

Debian 8 or newer:

# libs
apt-get install gnu-efi libpci-dev

# build tools
apt-get install make automake autoconf autoconf-archive libtool pkg-config python3

# test dependencies
apt-get install check bats

Compilation

This project uses autotools. Here you find useful documentations for autoconf, and automake.

To compile efibootguard, checkout the sources and run:

autoreconf -fi
./configure
make

To cross-compile, the environment variables must be set accordingly, i.e. CXX=<compiler-to-use>. The following example shows how to specify needed paths for an out-of-tree build, where cross-compilation environment variables have already been set before (i.e. by an embedded SDK from yocto or alike):

mkdir build
cd build
autoreconf -fi ..
../configure --host=i586 --build=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu \
 --with-gnuefi-sys-dir=<sys-root-dir> \
 --with-gnuefi-include-dir=<sys-root-dir>/usr/include/efi \
 --with-gnuefi-lib-dir=<sys-root-dir>/usr/lib
make

where <sys-root-dir> points to the wanted sysroot for cross-compilation.

Testing

  • make check will run all unit tests.
  • bats tests will run all integration tests.
