error in FILO configuration

[ali hagigat]

I have FILO source code in:                 /root/build/coreboot/filo
and COREBOOT source code is in:       /root/build/coreboot/coreboot-v4

When i execute the instruction below, it is followed by an error:
/root/build/coreboot/filo> make menuconfig
Libpayload config for FILO.
can't find file /root/build/coreboot/filo/../libpayload/Config.in
make: *** [menuconfig] Error 1

How can i correct it?

Where's your libpayload code?  That's what it's looking for.

Put filing in your coreboot/payloads directory so it can access libpayload.

Put filo in your coreboot/payloads directory so it can access libpayload.

You need libpayload first. Please follow instructions on the wiki:
http://www.coreboot.org/FILO

Actually I tried this yesterday, following the wiki instructions, and had the same problem.  One of the GSoC projects for this summer changed how filo is built, now it expects to be built from coreboot/payloads/filo.  I was going to update the wiki but I got distracted.  I should do that right now, as I'm quite absent-minded and easily distracted.

Hi Rob,

I made some additions to the filo wiki page, but feel free to correct
or change what I did.

You also probably shouldnt make a habit out of building and testing strange code as the root user.
