You don't have the $(eval $(call GENTARGETS,boot,syslinux,host)) line
anymore, so the HOST_* variables are quite useless no ? This line was
present in your previous posting.
Also can you comment how this host package is used ? It isn't part of
the dependencies of any target package, so it doesn't seem to be used
anywhere (except by manually running "make host-syslinux").
Not related to your patches directly, but could you elaborate a bit on
how syslinux is used in practice by giving an example usage. This would
explain a bit why a host version is needed, how to set up syslinux on
the target, etc.
Thanks!
Thomas

Oops! Messed up rebase, and I didn't think it was necessary to test...
Patch v3 coming up.

Indeed, manually running "make host-syslinux" in the script that creates a
USB image. I guess the host-grub support that was submitted a couple of days
ago had the same purpose.

To build a rescue disk that rewrites the disk of the target device. The idea
is that the whole thing can be sent as a zip file and the customer just has to
unzip it to a USB stick and run syslinux (from Windows) and voila, he has a
rescue USB stick. The compiled syslinux.exe is taken from the tar file for
that. However, I also want to be able to create a rescue disk directly from
buildroot, hence I want a working host-syslinux.
FYI the make_rescue script is attached.
Regards,
Arnout

I use syslinux on an i486 target. I use host syslinux to make a bootable USB
flash drive of buildroot Linux. I then plug the USB flash drive into the target
and boot from it, then use target syslinux to make the target Disk on Module
(DoM) flash drive bootable and install buildroot Linux. The USB flash drive is
then unplugged and the target boots from the DoM evermore. I like having the
same version of syslinux on host and target. Thanks for your work Arnout.
