I want to custom my grub.
# rpm -ivh grub-0.97-19.src.rpm
# cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
#rpmbuild -bp grub.specs
#cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/grub-0.97
#./configure-fedora8
Then the error messages output:
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... configure.fedora-8: error: ls -t appears to fail. Make sure there is not a broken
alias in your environment
configure.fedora-8: error: newly created file is older than distributed files!
Check your system clock
I have set the right system clock and time zone,but it doesn't work.
Could anyone help me? Thank you!!!
What you could do is 'cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/grub-0.97; unalias ls; ./configure-fedora8' and see if that works. If it does then you have set an alias for 'ls' that sort of breaks the configure script. (Kinda odd anyway but OK). Else what does 'alias ls' return?
Thank you for help.
I have settled the question.
I deleted some codes about checking system time in configure-fedora-8. Then, #./configure-fedora-8 # make
After make,the file "configure" is created.
Then # ./configure;make
