Problems compiling/running Grub 1.97.2 on Mac OS X 10.6.2 on intel MacBook Pro

Problems compiling/running Grub 1.97.2 on Mac OS X 10.6.2 on intel MacBook Pro

[Colin Howarth]

Hi,

I've had a look at the archives, but it's not clear to me which problems are current.

I do:

./configure --with-platform=efi --target=i386

(i386 instead of x86_64) because the FreeType libs (installed in /usr/local/fink/lib/freetype219 are 32 bit libraries.



Compilation nevertheless fails with:

ld: warning: in /usr/local/fink/lib/libfreetype.dylib, file is not of required architecture

unless I insert liberal sprinklings of  " -arch i386 -m32 " in all the CCFLAGS and LDFLAGS (in the Makefile).




Then, when compilation succeeds, actually running

./grub-mkimage -d . -o grub.efi part_gpt hfsplus fat ext2 normal sh chain boot configfile linux

also fails due to the "unknown" symbol _memcmp.

memcmp IS in stdlib. But one of the flags set during the ./configure is " -nostdlib "


If I remove all "-nostdlib" from ./configure I get:

checking whether target compiler is working... no
configure: error: cannot compile for the target



gcc is version 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5646) (dot 1)




Is there currently a working version for Mac OS X 10.6.2?


Any pointers much appreciated!

"target" is only about which system grub itself runs under. For instance
your command will generate efi32 binary which is unsuitable for efi64. 
The system grub utils run under is "host" and not "target"
