      1 gPXE README File
      2 
      3 gPXE is an implementation of the PXE specification for network
      4 booting, with extensions to allow additional features such as booting
      5 via HTTP, iSCSI, and AoE.  
      6 
      7 In generally, gPXE is compatible with the industry-standard PXE
      8 specification, and also supports Etherboot .nbi file loading and some
      9 additional protocols and features.
     10

     14 BUILDING gPXE IMAGE FROM SOURCE
     15 
     16 If you don't want to install development tools, and have access to the
     17 Web, you can get gPXE and Etherboot ROM images made on demand from
     18 http://rom-o-matic.net/
     19 
     20 If you would like to compile gPXE images from source, here are some tips.
     21 
     22 We normally compile gPXE images on x86, 32-bit Linux machines. It is
     23 possible to also use x86-64 machines. We use gcc compiler options to
     24 create 32-bit output.
     25 
     26 It is important to have the necessary software  packages installed.  A gcc-based
     27 toolchain is required.
     28 
     29 The following packages (at least) are required:
     30 
     31   - a gcc tool chain (gcc 3.x or gcc 4.x)
     32   - binutils
     33   - perl
     34   - syslinux
     35   - mtools
     36   
     37 To test your environment, cd to the "src" directory and type:
     38 
     39    make
     40 
     41 You should see a lot of output, and when it stops, the "bin" directory
     42 should be populated with gPXE images and object files.
     43 
     44 To learn more about what to build and how to use gPXE, please visit our
     45 project website at http://etherboot.org/ , particularly the "howto" section.
