ROM-o-matic web interface for building iPXE ROMs
------------------------------------------------
This web application generates iPXE images and sends them to a web
browser.
Available as part of the iPXE source code distribution, which can be
downlaoded from http://etherboot.org/

System Requirements
-------------------
- Apache web server
- PHP 4+
- Tools required to build iPXE installed on the server
- gcc, mtools, syslinux, perl, etc.
Setup
-----
As distributed, it is expected that the rom-o-matic source code
directory is in the contrib directory of a iPXE source distribution.
The easiest way to do this is to simply put a iPXE source distribution
in a web server accessible directory.
If this is not the case, you will need to either edit the file
"globals.php"
or create a file called
"local-config.php"
containing the following lines:
<?php
$src_dir = "../../src";
?>
Then change the line beginning "$src_dir = " to the path of your iPXE
source code tree.
To make build times shorter, before you run rom-o-matic for the first time
you should cd to the ipxe "src" directory and enter the following
commands:
$ make
$ make bin/NIC
This will pro-compile most object files and will make your rom-o-matic
builds much faster.
