[aur-general] Delete rEFIt package
Hi, rEFIt[1] has not been updated in over two years by upstream, does not build under linux (any distro) as of now, and is orphaned. I have uploaded refind-x86_64[2] which is a fork of rEFIt. It currently builds under linux and contains bugfixes. Please delete the rEFIt package. Thanks in advance. Regards. Keshav [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=14837 [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=57632

No. I haven't tried rEFIt with debian patches. But I had never maintained the package for a start. About gnu-efi (I maintain it in AUR), it builds perfectly in my system (tried today, x86_64 with gcc-multilib, although multilib is not necessary for gnu-efi). Can you post the build log from your system? Can you delete the existing source dir and try compiling again. If you want to compile 32-bit gnu-efi libs in 64-bit system (with multilib), the build system does not support that. You may have to modify the Makefiles to compile the 32-bit libs in a multilib system (-m32 and stuff) Regards. Keshav
