grub2: Obtaining and Building GRUB

1 Appendix A How to obtain and build GRUB
1 ***************************************
1 
1      *Caution:* GRUB requires binutils-2.9.1.0.23 or later because the
1      GNU assembler has been changed so that it can produce real 16bits
1      machine code between 2.9.1 and 2.9.1.0.x.  See
1      <http://sources.redhat.com/binutils/>, to obtain information on how
1      to get the latest version.
1 
1    GRUB is available from the GNU alpha archive site
1 <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/grub> or any of its mirrors.  The file will be
1 named grub-version.tar.gz.  The current version is 2.03, so the file you
1 should grab is:
1 
1    <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/grub/grub-2.03.tar.gz>
1 
1    To unbundle GRUB use the instruction:
1 
1      zcat grub-2.03.tar.gz | tar xvf -
1 
1    which will create a directory called 'grub-2.03' with all the
1 sources.  You can look at the file 'INSTALL' for detailed instructions
1 on how to build and install GRUB, but you should be able to just do:
1 
1      cd grub-2.03
1      ./configure
1      make install
1 
1    Also, the latest version is available using Git.  See
1 <http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub-download.html> for more
1 information.
