[syslinux] syslinux 5.00 does not build

[László Házy]

I am trying to build an RPM starting from the TAR archive. The relevant 
error is:

make[1]: Entering directory 
`/tmp1/Software/rpmbuild/BUILD/syslinux-5.00/libinstaller'
perl bin2c.pl syslinux_bootsect < ../core/ldlinux.bss > bootsect_bin.c
perl bin2c.pl syslinux_ldlinux 512 < ../core/ldlinux.sys > ldlinux_bin.c
perl bin2c.pl syslinux_mbr < ../mbr/mbr.bin > mbr_bin.c
perl bin2c.pl syslinux_gptmbr < ../mbr/gptmbr.bin > gptmbr_bin.c
make[1]: *** No rule to make target 
`../com32/elflink/ldlinux/ldlinux.c32', needed by `ldlinuxc32_bin.c'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory 
`/tmp1/Software/rpmbuild/BUILD/syslinux-5.00/libinstaller'
make: *** [installer] Error 2
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.48441 (%build)


Sure enough, syslinux-5.00/libinstaller/Makefile contains

    ldlinuxc32_bin.c: ../com32/elflink/ldlinux/ldlinux.c32 bin2c.pl
         $(PERL) bin2c.pl syslinux_ldlinuxc32 < $< > $@

However, there is no ../com32/elflink/ldlinux/ldlinux.c32 in the TAR 
archive.

Did anybody ever check that syslinux 5.00 actually builds? Any 
suggestions? Just comment out the rule in the Makefile?

Thanks.
