Re: [Xen-devel] [Linaro-uefi] [PATCH RFC 19/19] Add EFI stub for ARM64



Hi Ian & Roy,

change CFLAGS for individual object files.

Yes and yes.  I will likely end up with some single file directories due to the
build option differences.  Is there a XEN build system expert that I can ask
for help if needed?  (Or should I just post to the list?)

I'm not sure anyone is an expert on this stuff but feel free to prod me
either here or on #xenarm.

I think you just need something like, in xen/arch/arm/Makefile
    subdir-$(arm64) += efi # or CONFIG_EFI etc
and in xen/arch/arm/efi/Makefile:
    CFLAGS += -fshort-wchar
    obj-y += foo.o etc.o

much the same for xen/common/efi.

The Xen buildsystem doesn't provide CFLAGS facilities as the Kernel, but the Makefile has a syntax to append data in variables for a specific target.

If your efi.c is in xen/arch/arm/, you need to add in xen/arch/arm/Makefile:

efi.o: CFLAGS += -fshort-wchar
