Can't compile grub4dos for UEFI
Closed this issue · 6 comments
Hi
Because build grub4dos-for_UEFI-2021-08-18 crashes with my laptop with error:
/EndEntire file path: /ACPI(a0341d0,0)/PCI(0,14)/USB(1,0)/HD(1,800,775800,77e4ab9900000000,1,1)/File(\efi\boot)/File(GRUB4DOS_BOOTIA32.EFI)/EndEntire
I am trying to compile grub4dos for efi by myself.
I am using Ubuntu 18.04. I have cloned grub4dos. Then checked out efi:
git checkout efi
then installed gcc-multilib however during configure I face error:
checking if C symbols get an underscore after compilation... no checking whether objcopy works for absolute addresses... no configure: error: GRUB requires a working absolute objcopy; upgrade your binutils
I've found workaround:
- if { ac_try='${OBJCOPY-objcopy} -O binary conftest.exec conftest'
+ if { ac_try='${OBJCOPY-objcopy} --only-section=.text -O binary conftest.exec conftest'
and now I face another error:
checking for .code16 addr64 assembler support... no configure: error: GRUB requires GAS .code16 addr32 support; upgrade your binutils
I cannot overcome this. Please help
@yaya2007 @chenall can you post HOWTO build ?
I even installed i386 version debian. Then ended up with error:
checking whether objcopy works for absolute addresses... configure: error: gcc cannot link at address 2000
GCC 4.8 is required.
sudo apt install gcc-4.8 gcc-4.8-multilib
Thanks for reply. I installed gcc-4.8 and gcc-4.8-multilib on Ubuntu 18.04.
dpkg-query -L gcc-4.8

Thank you. Now I was able to compile grub4dos.
May you write few words about start-grubdev.sh usage?
I saw it builds some iso and runs in kvm.
Do you have some english readme for it?
