I've installed automake, autoconf, gettext and freetype from macports. Manual compiled objconv. I've also installed vanilla fsf-gcc44 toolchain from macports (note it uses system ld, as)
1) Compiling using Apple gcc toolchain compiles, fails to strip, since cctools strip has quite different command line options and I can't quite figure out exact parameters needed. Defining TARGET_NO_STRIP=yes finishes the build. Should this be defined by default for apple detected toolchain? 2) Compiling using macports-gcc-44 (vanilla fsf) Configure fails probably because ld,as are not fsf-binutils. I see this multiple times in config.log and configure ultimately fails "cannot compile for target" ---8<----- configure:9891: checking whether target compiler is working configure:9910: gcc -o conftest -Os -DGRUB_MACHINE_EFI=1 -DMACHINE=I386_EFI -Wall -W -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wmissing-prototypes -Wundef -Wstrict-prototypes -g -falign-jumps=1 -falign-loops=1 -falign-functions=1 -mno-mmx -mno-sse -mno-sse2 -mno-3dnow -fno-dwarf2-cfi-asm -m32 -fno-stack-protector -mno-stack-arg-probe -Werror -nostdlib -Wl,--defsym,___main=0x8100 -m32 conftest.c >&5 ld: unknown option: --defsym ---8<----- I will try macports-gcc with macports occtools but I don't think it will work either. I will attempt building gcc with fsf binutils, but so far all hints on the internet say that this is not quite possible (or doesn't produce working toolchain) 3) Running non-stripped apple-gc42 build grub2 i386-efi $ ./grub-mkimage --verbose -d . -o grub.efi part_gpt hfsplus fat ext2 normal chain boot configfile linux -O i386-efi <snip info: getting the size of *.mod> ./grub-mkimage: info: the total module size is 0x26fbc. ./grub-mkimage: info: getting the size of ./kernel.img. ./grub-mkimage: info: reading ./kernel.img. ./grub-mkimage: info: getting the size of ./kernel.img. ./grub-mkimage: error: invalid ELF header. $ file kernel.img kernel.img: Mach-O object i386 Well I did this (blindly simulating what is done during make): $ objconv -felf32 -wd1106 -ew2030 -ew2050 -nu -nd kernel.img kernel.new.img $ mv kernel.new.img kernel.img $ ./grub-mkimage -d . -o grub.efi part_gpt hfsplus fat ext2 normal chain boot configfile linux -O i386-efi Horay =) it generates grub.efi it doesn't boot via rEFIt though =( I guess converting kernel.img to elf binary didn't go that well. Is there anything else I can do to make it work? I'm gonna try installing linux-elf cross toolchain via macports compile grub2 modules/kernel.img and use those with mach-o grub-mkimage and see if that will boot. _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
