Thanks for considering Cygwin support for the next release.
The first (and last) grub package released in the Cygwin distribution
was based on grub codebase from 2008-03-26. My latest reasonably tested
merge is ~2 month old. If desired, I can merge & test all remaining
changes to current HEAD and post the patches for review soon.
I'm sorry, I forgot that story. It may be a more radical change than I
expected. Anyway, let's see what remains to be done.
Here is a older diffstat:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2008-04/msg00013.html
The changes for util/biosdisk.c, util/getroot.c, and util/mkdevicemap.c
are already checked in.
BTW:
- Supporting "Ltext0" would not help much for Cygwin, because a linker
script is required due to the lack of "ld -N" support.
We may want to use linker scripts on all platforms for uniformity.
Yes, more flexible. And the tests for _start etc. are no longer necessary.
- Cygwin liblzo2* packages were released 1 week before the grub package :-)
That means the development package too? That's good.
Yes, liblzo2-devel too.
Christian
