(grub.info.gz) Obtaining and Building GRUB

 
 Appendix A How to obtain and build GRUB
 ***************************************
 
      *Caution:* GRUB requires binutils-2.9.1.0.23 or later because the
      GNU assembler has been changed so that it can produce real 16bits
      machine code between 2.9.1 and 2.9.1.0.x. See
      `http://sources.redhat.com/binutils/', to obtain information on
      how to get the latest version.
 
    GRUB is available from the GNU alpha archive site
 `ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub' or any of its mirrors. The file will be
 named grub-version.tar.gz. The current version is 0.97, so the file you
 should grab is:
 
    `ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub/grub-0.97.tar.gz'
 
    To unbundle GRUB use the instruction:
 
      zcat grub-0.97.tar.gz | tar xvf -
 
    which will create a directory called `grub-0.97' with all the
 sources. You can look at the file `INSTALL' for detailed instructions
 on how to build and install GRUB, but you should be able to just do:
 
      cd grub-0.97
      ./configure
      make install
 
    This will install the grub shell `grub' ( Invoking the grub
 shell), the Multiboot checker `mbchk' ( Invoking mbchk), and
 the GRUB images. This will also install the GRUB manual.
 
    Also, the latest version is available from the CVS. See
 `http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=grub' for more information.
