Building the fam15h tree results in one of the same nonstring errors
we also had when building the default tree. Copy the relevant patch from
the default tree, while dropping a hunk that we don't need in this old
version.
Another build error is about bool being a reserved keyword now:
.../lbmk/src/coreboot/fam15h/util/romcc/romcc.c:7140:13: error: 'bool' cannot be used here
7140 | static void bool(struct compile_state *state, struct triple *def)
| ^~~~
.../lbmk/src/coreboot/fam15h/util/romcc/romcc.c:7140:13: note: 'bool' is a keyword with '-std=c23' onwards
.../lbmk/src/coreboot/fam15h/util/romcc/romcc.c:7140:18: error: expected identifier or '(' before 'struct'
7140 | static void bool(struct compile_state *state, struct triple *def)
| ^~~~~~
.../lbmk/src/coreboot/fam15h/util/romcc/romcc.c: In function 'mkcond_expr':
.../lbmk/src/coreboot/fam15h/util/romcc/romcc.c:7708:19: error: expected ')' before ',' token
7708 | bool(state, test);
| ^
| )
[...]
Fix that by adding a patch that renames the function to bool_().

Libreboot
Documentation: libreboot.org
Support: #libreboot on
Libera IRC
Libreboot provides libre boot firmware on supported motherboards. It replaces proprietary vendor BIOS/UEFI implementations, by
- Using coreboot to initialize the hardware (e.g. memory controller, CPU, etc.) while minimizing unwanted functionality (e.g. backdoors such as the Intel Management Engine)
- ... which runs a payload such as SeaBIOS, GRUB, or U-Boot
- ... which loads your operating system's boot loader (BSD and Linux-based systems are supported).
Why use Libreboot, and what is coreboot?
A lot of users who use libre operating systems still use proprietary boot firmware, which often contain backdoors and bugs, hampering user freedom and right to repair.
coreboot provides libre boot firmware by initializing the hardware then running a payload. However, coreboot is notoriously difficult to configure and install for most non-technical users, requiring detailed technical knowledge of hardware.
Libreboot solves this by being a coreboot distribution (in the same way that Alpine Linux is a Linux distribution). It provides a fully automated build system that downloads and compiles pre-configured ROM images for supported motherboards, so end-users could easily fetch images to flash onto their devices.
Libreboot also produces documentation aimed at non-technical users and excellent user support via IRC.

You can check bugs listed on the bug tracker.
You may use Codeberg pull requests to send patches with bug fixes or other improvements. This repository hosts the code for the main build system. The website lives in a separate repository.
Development is also done on the IRC channel.
