Hi Thomas, to keep the host installation clean, I would probably use a container. So if you are familiar with Podman or Docker, take a look at this: https://github.com/stendler/grub-fde/blob/main/Containerfile
You could then use a volume mount for any input files from your host and to retrieve the output files. Hope this helps in your case, otherwise someone more knowledgeable than me could chime in. :) Cheers Max On 2024-06-14 16:16, Thomas Schmitt via Grub-devel wrote: > 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.
