Hi all, probably you know that my GRUB problem was RESOLVED. Your suggestions were very important.
I hope I'm not becoming tedious, but, while running along BLFS avenue, I encountered a big problem: I don't succeed in installing GPM-1.20.1. I followed LFS-Book-6.8 and now BLFS-Book-6.3. I always get the errors here reported: make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/giocitta/BLFS-Sources/gpm-1.20.1/src' make[1]: Entering directory `/home/giocitta/BLFS-Sources/gpm-1.20.1/src' gcc -I/home/giocitta/BLFS-Sources/gpm-1.20.1/src -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -include headers/config.h -Wall -DSYSCONFDIR="\"/etc\"" -DSBINDIR="\"/usr/sbin\"" -g -O2 $ gpm.c: In function ‘getMouseData’: gpm.c:335:16: warning: pointer targets in initialization differ in signedness gpm.c:354:10: warning: pointer targets in return differ in signedness gpm.c:385:4: warning: pointer targets in return differ in signedness gpm.c: In function ‘processMouse’: gpm.c:437:13: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 2 of ‘which_mouse->m_type->fun’ differ in signedness gpm.c:437:13: note: expected ‘unsigned char *’ but argument is of type ‘char *’ gpm.c: In function ‘processConn’: gpm.c:813:20: error: storage size of ‘sucred’ isn’t known gpm.c:814:34: error: invalid application of ‘sizeof’ to incomplete type ‘struct ucred’ gpm.c:813:20: warning: unused variable ‘sucred’ gpm.c: In function ‘old_main’: gpm.c:1077:16: warning: value computed is not used make[1]: *** [gpm.o] Errore 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/giocitta/BLFS-Sources/gpm-1.20.1/src' make: *** [do-all] Errore 1 Obviously, I made a long search work through google and BLFS reports, but no one worked for me. I think there will be a specific patch, but I don't succeed in understanding where. Have you any suggestion about what to do? Without GPM it is very hard to work in an OS using only the commad line. Please, accept my best regards. giocitta 2011/8/17 Andrew Benton <[email protected]>: > On Wed, 17 Aug 2011 08:31:06 +0200 > Giorgio Cittadini <[email protected]> wrote: > >> (5) But also if I manually modify grub.cfg introducing the new >> menuentry (and, obviously, I don't use grub-mkconfig), nothing >> changes. > > Then you are not modifying the grub.cfg that grub (the one on the MBR) > is using.
