Hi, To compile 32-bit efi: ./configure --platform=efi --target=i386 To compile 64-bit efi: ./configure --platform=efi --target=x86_64 This works in i386 and x86_64 host. If you don't use --target, it will build native image. -- Bean _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
