List-Id: Linux MTD discussion mailing list List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , I am having a hell of a time compiling GRUB with the DOC patch. The old versions of GRUB won't compile using the recent versions of GCC (see grub bug #3343 and 8729). Fine. So I load RedHat 7.3, but that has too old a version of autoconf and automake. And automake- 1.5.tar.gz on the Gnu site is corrupted! (It appears RH8 has the required automake 1.5 and autoconf 2.53, but I don't have that). I'm wondering if it would be more worth my time to rework the latest patch (grub-2003-11-10-doc.patch) to work with the more recent versions of grub. (0.96 for example) Has anyone attacked this recently? I saw a couple unanswered posts within the last 6 months (is that all, just a couple posts?) from others who are having this problem. Perhaps someone else has solved this allready (I hope...) - Joe
