See the file NEWS for a description of recent changes to GRUB.
You need recent developmental environment to build GRUB. We recommend
you use the following utilities:
- binutils 2.9.1.0.24 and later (Early 2.9.1.0.x is buggy, so don't use it.)
- autoconf 19990301 and later (See http://sourceware.cygnus.com/autoconf
for the information about how to get it from the CVS.)
- automake 1.3, or 19990327 and later (Do not use 1.4!)
- ncurses 4.0 and later (1.9.9 is too buggy, so don't use it.)
- texinfo 3.12h and later
* binutils 2.9.1.0.23 and later (Do not use early 2.9.1.0.x!)
Binutils has changed the behavior of 16bit assembler between 2.9.1
and 2.9.1.0.x, and we support only 2.9.1.0.x. It is available from
ftp.XX.kernel.org (XX is the country code, such as `jp').
* autoconf 19990301 and later
Autoconf 2.13 has a bug that can't handle any macro with arguments,
so you need to get the later version from the CVS. See
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/autoconf for more information.
* automake 1.3, or 19990327 and later (Do not use 1.4!)
Automake 1.3 works just fine, but 1.4 doesn't work because it complains
about EXTRA_DATA. This inconsistency has been fixed in the later version
in the CVS. If you need 1.4 or later, see
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/automake for more information.
* ncurses 4.0 and later (1.9.9 is too buggy, so don't use it.)
Ncurses is used for /sbin/grub, so it may not be needed if you don't
use /sbin/grub. Ncurses 4.0 is available from many ftp sites.
* texinfo 3.12h and later
The latest snapshot of Texinfo is available from alpha.gnu.org.
See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install the
GRUB data and program files. See `docs/install.html' for details
