You should also be able to just say "make flashrom" instead of just "make" or "make all"

Stefan,

I think the longer term intent is to EOL the Makefile in favour of meson. The last release was about feature parity between the two build systems. Thomas did heaps and heaps of work to knock all that meson stuff into great shape. Thomas can speak in more precise terms about the timelines since he owns this whole area and knows tons about the minutiae.

That is absolutely great! However, the documentation (README at least) doesn't make any mention of meson but has five + examples of how to run make and since that is what Alex was using I tried to provide a solution for the issue he was seeing rather than migrating him to a new, undocumented build system just yet (that, I have to admit, I have not used myself either)

Is there any documentation on how to tweak all (or the most important) of flashrom's knobs with meson?

Stefan

Alex,

An alternative is to suggest using meson if at all possible? If there are any blocks I suspect Thomas would be keen to know.

Kindest Regards,
Edward.

Yea, there is a error in the Makefile logic which requires sphix when run 'make [all]'. I'll fix this.

To mitigate this in the meanwhile you can comment out Makefile line 1035 'FLASHROM_VERSION=$(VERSION) $(SPHINXBUILD) -b man doc .'

Please be aware, that we are in the process of switching to the meson build system and the Makefile might be removed in the near feature.

Hi Alex,

This is definitely not intended behaviour: sphinx is optional. If it
is not present, flashrom can be built, just without docs.
I didn't have sphinx locally for a while, and was building the sources
without it. Only installed it very recently, because I started to add
docs.

Can you tell exactly how you are building? Logs maybe? I want to help.
