Created attachment 401056 [details, diff] Adds support for libftdi1 The current 0.9.7 version of flashrom, nor the SVN version (-9999) has ability to use libftdi1 for FT2232 access. I have found a patch ( http://www.flashrom.org/pipermail/flashrom/2013-March/010777.html ) and adjusted it to fit onto the 0.9.7 version which is available in Gentoo without unmasking. Patch file attached, can I ask for inclusion? (0.9.7 -> 0.9.7-r1 perhaps). Only the makefile is changed. This solves bug 528344 .
messing with flashrom can be pretty risky. would really prefer to see this sent upstream first.
See upstream r1904. It supports both versions of libftdi since the API remained the same (at least for the bits flashrom uses). Also, libftdi is only needed for external programmers where the risk is relatively low (compared to the immanent brick threat of the internal programmer at least ;) There will soon(tm) be a new stable release anyway BTW.
i've add 0.9.9 now which should have this fixed https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=595e3cb391a4ee87b2cabe6bb5151c39cdedbcda
