Compare function used in qsort gets arguments by reference, so strcmp
cannot be used directly - it expects pointer to char, but gets pointer
to pointer to char.
Introduce new helper grub_qsort_strcmp and use it in grub-install.
This helper is going to be used in a couple more places as well so
add it to global file, not in grub-install.c.
This lets us cope with block device drivers that don't implement
HDIO_GETGEO. Fixes Ubuntu bug #1237519.
* grub-core/osdep/linux/hostdisk.c (sysfs_partition_path): New
function.
(sysfs_partition_start): Likewise.
(grub_util_find_partition_start_os): Try sysfs_partition_start
before HDIO_GETGEO.
Copying the themes directory in grub-shell isn't
parallel-test-friendly and breaks on the second test when the source
directory is read-only (as in "make distcheck"). Instead, add a
hidden --themes-directory option to grub-mkrescue et al, and use it
in grub-shell.
* docs/grub-dev.texi (Font Metrics): Exclude @image command from DVI
builds, since we don't have an EPS version of font_char_metrics.png.
Add leading dot to image extension per the Texinfo documentation.
* util/grub-gen-asciih.c: Include FT_SYNTHESIS_H rather than
<freetype/ftsynth.h>, fixing build with FreeType 2.5.1.
* util/grub-gen-widthspec.c: Likewise.
* util/grub-mkfont.c: Likewise.
Shell version of grub-install called grub-setup which resolved
install device name and called main setup routine. C version of
grub-install calls main setup routine directly, which leads
to the error:
grub2-install: info: grub-bios-setup --verbose --force --skip-fs-probe --directory='/boot/grub2/i386-pc' --device-map='/boot/grub2/device.map' '(hd2)'.
grub2-install: info: reading /boot/grub2/i386-pc/boot.img.
grub2-install: info: reading /boot/grub2/i386-pc/core.img.
grub2-install: info: root is `(null)', dest is `(hd2)'.
grub2-install: info: Opening dest.
grub2-install: info: drive = -1.
grub2-install: error: disk `(hd2)' not found.
Move resolving of destination device name into main setup routine
so it is done consistently in both cases.
-DUSE_ASCII_FALLBACK is already added by font snippets.
-mexplicit-relocs isn't needed is compiler/assemblera are
configured properly.
If they're not we shouldn't attempt to fix it by ourselves.
Binary compare between before and after shows no difference.
This was the only instance of "library" in core config. A bug was
reported that -fno-stack-protector wasn't passed to it. Instead of
figuring out why it failed just remove this construction used
needlessly.
