Here is a rEFind ebuild i am using for the latest version 0.6.5. This works for me, bu may need improvements. It uses gnu-efi or optionally tiano core which i included an ebuild too in the attachments. Tiano core has weird built system and i don't understnad all those modules, it installs into /opt and rEFInd compiles and works fine with it.

ebuild for rEFInd 0.8.3

I wrote an ebuild myself independently and put it in my overlay: https://qsuscs.sculptor.uberspace.de/cgit/overlay.git/tree/sys-boot/refind (`layman -o https://qsuscs.sculptor.uberspace.de/cgit/overlay.git/plain/repositories.xml -a qsuscs && emerge sys-boot/refind && refind-install` to install rEFInd).
Didn’t bother about TianoCore, gnuefi works just fine.
Comment 10 Greg Turner 2014-09-28 10:34:32 UTC
Here:

  https://github.com/gmt/gmt-refind-overlay

is my attempt to borrow as much as possible from prior art (here and elsewhere) to slap together an ebuild for refind supporting EDKII or gnuefi toolchains.

Even includes an ebuild one could use to build a kludgy cross-compiling toolchain, for those whose gcc doesn't have an "-m64" multilib personality.

I don't really know what I'm doing with this framework, there are plenty of half-measures and hacks, etc., but I did spend some effort future-proofing this code and trying to hide things in the right size black boxes, etc. so this code could have some kind of future here in the Gentooniverse.

Ebuild and supporting files for refind-0.9.0

This is an ebuild(s) I've had in my overlay for rEFInd which I just bumped to 0.9.0. Works on my ~amd64 system.
