Hi, on occasion of https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?65880 "heap-buffer-overflow in grub-mkrescue.c" i try to get grub-mkrescue running from git.
My problem is that grub_util_get_pkglibdir() returns /usr/local/lib/grub and grub_util_get_pkgdatadir() returns /usr/local/share/grub which of course do not come with a Debian installation. So grub-mkrescue produces only a very small ISO with no boot lures or boot programs. Quite unrealistic for testing. I was able to overcome this obstacle by ln -s /usr/lib/grub /usr/local/lib/grub ln -s /usr/share/grub /usr/local/share/grub but i understand that now my grub-mkrescue actually copies the ISO content from the Debian installation and not from the git clone. The manual https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub-dev/grub-dev.html does not give me a clue how i would get the /usr/local/*/grub directories populated with the files made from the git clone. I guess "make install" would do it for me, but i fear that this does too many other things to the GRUB installation of my vanilla Debian. In general i would prefer to keep the git files away from any system directory. So what can i do to make the files built from git available to ./grub-mkrescue built from git, without frankensteining my Debian 12 ? Have a nice day :) Thomas _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
