Hi Ludovic, Something is wrong here: the “*boot0” packages are not cross-compilable, they should never show up here. What branch are you on? On master on GNU/Linux I don’t see them on the list of things to build: I'm working on core-updates branch on GNU/Linux, I've updated my reposit

The appended two patches fail, for a reason which is not apparent to me (and no reason I could capture). This is mostly based on the font-build-system with some additions, it's more or less the same except for the unpack and install phases. -- ng0 GnuPG: A88C8ADD129828D7EAC02E52E22F9BBFEE348588 G

Thank you. That also explains the error messages I got; for some reason I thought '_' was special, but of course - this is lisp, it's not weird like that. On Sun, 2 Jul 2017 11:18:47 +0200 Danny Milosavljevic wrote: > In the linked resource, you have "(lambda () ...)" on like 36 as a phase. > T
