Log file not supported in standalone mode. Aborting.

that’s why the script doesn’t use your built-in flashrom, it’s bugged and doesn’t support logging to file. So it wants to build flashrom from source, but can’t find dependencies

=( It happens. I want to switch to something stable like Debian, but when Intel Iris driver was released, i just don’t want to go back to old, slowly i965 driver, and stuck with Fedora.
I tried many other GNU/Linux discributions, ArchLinux, CentOS, Linux Mint, PureOS, and many other, but don’t find anything better than Debian and Fedora.
When Intel Iris driver will ported to Debian Stable, i will back to your party and don’t get problems with flashing coreboot =)

try using script from here and LMK if it works:

I installed “pciutils-devel” package, got this error, then install “pciutils-devel-static” and nothing changed. =(

Error building flashrom (missing build dependency libpci-dev?)
49

I’ll fire up a F32 instance on one of my dev machines here tomorrow and get fedora dependency support fixed up in a next few days. Need to get a Pureboot update out the door first

Looks like it’s passing -Werror to the compiler, causing (likely harmless) warnings to be interpreted as errors. As the set of warnings changes from compiler version to compiler version this is a common source of errors. Maybe there is a build option to avoid this option?

51

this is a bug/error in flashrom 1.2, but is fixed in master. Trying to decide the best way to handle it until there’s a tagged release that includes it

52

ok, pushed some script fixes that should address dependencies and compiling flashrom under Fedora-based distros
