Hi. I'm running a new system with a fresh install of FreeBSD 5.2.1 on i386, with GCC 3.3.3 and have been trying to install the GRUB 0.94 boot loader. Got the .tar.gz file, untarred it, and ran the configure script from the grub-0.94 directory with no special options. Typed make and ran into a message saying couldn't compile stage1. I looked around at all the makefiles in the directories (stage1, stage2, utils, docs, grub) and did make and then make install in each dir. After doing this in the grub directory, I could run the grub program, and after going this in the docs directory I could run man pages, and after make and make install in the utils directory I could (try) and run grub-install and grub-terminfo, meaning these programs and docs compiled nicley. It's the stage1 and 2 directories that are giving me problems. [ ... ] How can I install grub?
Wild guess... try 'gmake' instead of 'make'. You may have to install it from ports (/usr/ports/devel/gmake). FreeBSD make uses a different syntax than GNU make (gmake) and IIRC GRUB depends on the latter. HTH.
And use the grub port (ports/sysutils/grub) please. It has all FreeBSD specific patches (and UFS2 patch as bonus :) ).
