one you need first is grub-efi-amd64-bin. It won't run grub-install

replaces grub-pc and runs grub-install automatically.

Make sure you run grub-install from the distribution, not the one you
built from source.


Ok, I uninstalled locally built grub and installed both grub and

This is not what I said. I did not say to install package grub. grub is a virtual package provided by package grub-legacy, the obsolete version of GRUB (aka GRUB 1). It does not support EFI boot.

grub-efi-amd64

Do you mean grub-efi-amd64-bin ? I said to install grub-efi-amd64-bin at first, not grub-efi-amd64. Also grub-efi-amd64 conflicts with grub-legacy.

from ubuntu, then again booted from USB stick in EFI mode and entered
chroot.

This time grub-install would not recognize the --target command line option:
(...)
root@ubuntu:/# grub-install -v
grub-install (GNU GRUB 0.97)

This is GRUB 1 aka GRUB legacy, from package grub-legacy.

at this point I decided to run grub-install from the locally built
directory,

Didn't you say that you uninstalled the locally built GRUB ?

it did accept --target command line option, but still complained
about  /usr/local/lib/grub/x86_64_efi/modinfo.sh not existing, so I mapped
/usr/lib/grub/x86_64_efi into /usr/local/lib/grub and at that point
grub-install invocation finally succeeded and created that path in
/boot/efi you mentioned earlier.

A lot of trouble and hack just to correct your mistake.

I am still at loss though  - what do I do next, to get Windows showing as
an entry in the grub boot menu?

Why should I waste time writing instructions if you don't follow them ?

Uninstall grub-legacy and check that you have at least grub2-common and grub-efi-amd64-bin installed. Or just install grub-efi-amd64.
After EFI boot, run os-prober to check that Windows is detected.
Run update-grub to include it in GRUB's menu.
