Don't install this package (or efibootmgr) on 32-bit system unless you are absolutely sure you have a 32-bit UEFI implementation, which is very rare in practice. If building this package on a 32-bit system, apply a patch: [ $(getconf LONG_BIT) = 64 ] || patch -Np1 -i ../efivar-&efivar-version;-i686-1.patch Build efivar with the following commands: make ERRORS= The test suite of this package is dangerous. Running it may trigger firmware bugs and make your system unusable without using some special hardware to reprogram the firmware. Now, as the root user: make install LIBDIR=/usr/lib ERRORS=: This option overrides the -Werror passed to GCC by default, so the package won't fail to build with the -Wenum-int-mismatch warning introduced in GCC 13. LIBDIR=/usr/lib: This option overrides the default library directory of the package (/usr/lib64, which is not used by LFS.)
