I use a syslinux host build to generate a bootable USB flash drive on to which I
install the buildroot built kernel and rootfs.
I also build syslinux for the target that I include in the buildroot rootfs to
allow the target device, as booted from the USB flash drive, to generate
bootable PATA (aka IDE) flash drives - a sort of self installer.
I would like to get buildroot to build the host and target syslinux for me. I
am just not sure how to go about it! I have tried adjusting the existing
syslinux.mk to make the SYSLINUX_BUILD/INSTALL_CMDS build for the target, added
HOST_SYSLINUX_BUILD/INSTALL_CMDS for a host build and added $(eval $(call
GENTARGETS,boot,syslinux,host)) but the host build doesn't seem to get run. I
conclude I don't know what I am doing :)
I also believe that we are currently just calling "make" where as the syslinux
/doc/distrib.txt requests that we call "make clean" "make installer" instead.
Regards,
Will

Try:
$(eval $(call GENTARGETS,host))
I think the recent infrastructure change included GENTARGETS.

Hoi Will,
This patch (applied to the current HEAD) builds syslinux for the host.
What is still missing from this is a way to have a Windows self-installer.
I've got a patch cooking for that too, but it's a hack: it copies the
precompiled syslinux.exe binary from the extracted tar file.
Regards,
Arnout

Thanks!
I can see some discussion on the mailing list of a few patches you have sent for
syslinux moving to v4.04 and adding the host build, but what is the status of
these?

I can't see there is another way. I have no interest in this personally but
would like to have a target build so my buildroot target can itself syslinux a
device to make it bootable. I would suggest that these are both unusual versus
having a host build and so should be menu options.

What have you got defined for SYSLINUX_RM_MK_LBA_IMG?

As per syslinux /doc/distrib.txt:
$(HOST_MAKE_ENV) $(MAKE) -C $(@D) clean
$(HOST_MAKE_ENV) $(MAKE) -C $(@D) installer
