hi all,
I'm trying to build a grub packages (again....) and its getting to a
mawk stage and bombing out (sits there forever). can someone else try
and build grub from bzr or the archive and see if it succeeds?
Just to make it clear: the idea is to get rid of our own version of grub
and use something from upstream. [1]
Things I tried:
- Build grub-0.97 from the source in the archive. This was irrelevant
because we want grub2, not legacy grub. Anyway, first it said that the
CPU is not supported. I added mipsel as a valid host_cpu to
configure.ac. That made configure run a bit further, until it says "GRUB
requires a working absolute objcopy; upgrade your binutils"
- Build grub2-1.96 from the source in the archive. That stops with:
make: Nothing to be done for 'build'.
make: Nothing to be done for 'binary'.
- Build grub1-1.98 from the source in Debian sid. Just
'dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us' complains "Unmet build dependencies:
gcc-4.4". 'dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -d' stops later with:
checking for gcc... gcc-4.4
checking whether the C compiler works... no
- Build grub from bzr trunk. That seems to work. It showed 1 error at
the end about texinfo, but it also said "Ignored". No complaints about
gcc. Running make again said "nothing to be done" without errors. I was
not feeling so adventurous as to actually install it.
