In need of some assistance here with building grub 1.99

./configure

completes without errors


but with make I get

gcc -Wall -W -I../include -I../include -DGRUB_MACHINE_PCBIOS=1 -DGRUB_MACHINE=I386_PC -Os -Wall -W -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wmissing-prototypes -Wundef -

I have the config.log output but it exceeds the size allowed to upload and .zip is not allowed at all.

Hello,

Have a look at this mailing list - http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gr.../msg00078.html

Cheers,

Josh

Per the rerferenced thread I edited

I increased to 0x7f0 as shown below:


#define GRUB_KERNEL_I386_PC_NO_REED_SOLOMON_PART 0x7f0

but I still get the following similar error

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -Wall -W -I../include -I../include -DGRUB_MACHINE_PCBIOS=1 -DGRUB_MACHINE=I386_PC -DGRUB_FILE=\"kern/i386/pc/startup.S\" -I. -I. -I.. -I.. -I../include -I../include -g -m32 -DASM_FILE=1 -MT kern/i386/pc/kernel_exec-startup.o -MD -MP -MF kern/i386/pc/.deps-core/kernel_exec-startup.Tpo -c -o kern/i386/pc/kernel_exec-startup.o `test -f 'kern/i386/pc/startup.S' || echo './'`kern/i386/pc/startup.S

Updated to latest release of gcc 4.6.2 and error is gone. Compiled successfully per INSTALL docs.
