I think an improved approach would be one of those: 1) Make gencmdlist.sh call cpp with a special macro, that would expand into something that can be reliably extracted by sed or grep and placed into command.lst. 2) Use a macro to write the symbol into a special linker section. gencmdlist.sh would read it to generate command.lst at the build time. 3) Use a macro to write the symbol into a special linker section. grub-install would run a new utility to generate command.lst from the modules in /boot/grub. The later is very appealing, but it would be a big change in the way we are doing things. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
