Re: [Etherboot-developers] lzhuf compression program hangs

[Ken Y. <ke...@nl...>]

|lzhuf hangs when attempting compression of a file 131072 in size, but works
|on a file 114688 in size;  also, the make of lzhuf fails if either -DENCODE
|or -DDECODE compilation flags is missing (ie.  its currently only possible
|to create lzhuf with both decode and encode elements);  does anybody know of
|any other lz compression programs out there with available source?

Hmm, nobody has tried lzhuf with images that large, because no Etherboot
image is that large. So you are on unchartered territory. Remember that
you can't pick any arbitrary algorithm, it has to be the inverse of the
one on loader.S. Also the loader.S implementation may have size
limitations too. I don't know if these limits can be raised.
