LS,
Finally had a change to finish the LFS build. Alas, the grub-
install
reported the old error "Decompression is too big".
Here is the solution to add to the section to compile grub:
# Patch gentpl.py to avoid an error from grub-mkinstall
"Decompressor
is
too big"
# Source:
https://www.mail-archive.com/grub-devel@gnu.org/msg29840.html
#
sed -i -E "s@(.*-R .note.gnu.gold-version -R)(.*)@\1
.note.gnu.property
-R\2@" gentpl.py
ln -fs /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python # grub needs 'python'
./autogen.sh
rm -f /usr/bin/python
Very interesting, thanks! There are several hundreds of commits in
grub
repositories since the last release. I hope we'll see a release
soon...
For us, instead of running autogen, can't the generated file be
patched
directly? I looks like gentpl.py generates Makefile.*.am, and my
guess
is that this ends up in Makefile.*.in after running autofu...
Will look more closely
Yes this can be simplified to (sorry for format, need to fit into 80
chars per line):
sed -i -E \
"s@(.*-R .note.gnu.gold-version -R)(.*)@\1 .note.gnu.property -R\2@" \
Makefile.in grub-core/Makefile.in
I think it can be made shorter:
"/(version -R)/s/\1 .note.gnu.property -R/"
But not tested.

before running configure. Results:
- without the sed, after make:
------
$ ls -l grub-core/lzma*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pierre pierre 4972 7 févr. 15:01 grub-
core/lzma_decompress.image
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pierre pierre 134479612 7 févr. 15:01 grub-
core/lzma_decompress.img
------
- with the sed, after make:
------
$ ls -l grub-core/lzma*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pierre pierre 4972 7 févr. 15:09 grub-
core/lzma_decompress.image
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pierre pierre 2848 7 févr. 15:09 grub-
core/lzma_decompress.img
------
If nobody speaks up, will add that tomorrow to grub page.

Pierre has a one line solution devised to be applied to the recipient file:
Can be further simplified to:
sed -e 's/\.note\.gnu\.gold-version/& -R .note.gnu.property/' \
-i Makefile.in grub-core/Makefile.in
Just before configure (no need to run autogen, nor to relink python)
It works too and is confirmed by at least two people ;)
BTW: the sed -e ... can be changed to sed .... The -e is only required
when there is more then one command to be executed by sed.
