compiling GRUB 1.93 on OpenBSD

compiling GRUB 1.93 on OpenBSD

[Marcos Latas]

I have been trying to compile GRUB 1.93 on an OpenBSD machine to
create a port for it.

When I run ./configure the following message appears:

...
checking for __lzo_init_v2 in -llzo2... no
checking for __lzo_init_v2 in -llzo... no
checking for __lzo_init2 in -llzo... no
configure: error: LZO library version 1.02 or later is required


I have lzo-1.08 installed. I suppose GRUB is looking in the wrong
place for it. The lzo files are located on the following places:

/usr/local/include/lzo1.h
/usr/local/include/lzo16bit.h
/usr/local/include/lzo1a.h
/usr/local/include/lzo1b.h
/usr/local/include/lzo1c.h
/usr/local/include/lzo1f.h
/usr/local/include/lzo1x.h
/usr/local/include/lzo1y.h
/usr/local/include/lzo1z.h
/usr/local/include/lzo2a.h
/usr/local/include/lzoconf.h
/usr/local/include/lzoutil.h
/usr/local/lib/liblzo.a
/usr/local/lib/liblzo.la
/usr/local/lib/liblzo.so.1.0
/usr/local/share/doc/lzo/LTEST.TXT
/usr/local/share/doc/lzo/LZO.FAQ
/usr/local/share/doc/lzo/LZO.TXT
/usr/local/share/doc/lzo/LZOAPI.TXT

I suppose I have to change something in configure.ac, and then run
autoconf on it to produce the configure file. Could anyone help out?

Thank you very much for your time.

Try the following command which works for me on FreeBSD:

BUILD_LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib BUILD_CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include ./configure

Remember to use gmake to build afterwards.

Thank you very much for the tip. I tried the following:

./configure CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include

(I omited the LDFLAGS path because it seems to be correct)

It now stops here:

...
checking for objcopy... objcopy
checking whether objcopy works for absolute addresses... no
configure: error: GRUB requires a working absolute objcopy; upgrade your 
binutils


The file INSTALL mentions that GRUB requires GNU binutils 2.9.1.0.23 or
later. I have binutils 2.15!

Any thoughts?

Thank you.

This means that the OpenBSD port of binutils is buggy. Please talk with the 
maintainer of the OpenBSD port.
