This package cannot function properly on a 32-bit system with a 64-bit UEFI implementation. Don't install this package (or efibootmgr) on 32-bit system unless you are absolutely sure you have a 32-bit UEFI implementation, which is very rare in practice.
Build efivar with the following commands:
make
The test suite of this package is dangerous. Running it may trigger firmware bugs and make your system unusable without using some special hardware to reprogram the firmware.
Now, as the root
user:
make install LIBDIR=/usr/lib
LIBDIR=/usr/lib
: This
option overrides the default library directory of the package
(/usr/lib64
, which is not used by
LFS).
ENABLE_DOCS=0
: Disable the generation
of man pages. Append this option after the make and make install commands if you
don't need the man pages to allow building this package without
mandoc-1.14.6 installed.
