I've looked for documentation explaining how to build grub-emu but
haven't found any. I did look in INSTALL.

Here's what I am doing, this is with a git clone of master.

$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure --with-platform=grub-emu
$ make

I get executables

./grub-core/grub-emu-lite
./grub-core/grub-emu

When I run "grub-emu" I get a window opening with garbage in it and a
warning on the console:

error: can't open `/boot/grub/fonts/unicode.pf2': No such file or directory.

When I run "grub-emu-lite" I get an error

error: can't open `/boot/grub/x86_64-emu/normal.mod': No such file or
directory.

I then get a "grub rescue>" prompt but nothing works (not even "exit").

To close both executables I have to use "kill -9"

The emulators appear to be looking in /boot for things but the system I
am on has legacy grub in "/boot".

I don't want to mess with that system's real Grub installation. I would
hope that I can run the emulator in a sandbox beneath my git clone's root.

My system: Linux 3.16.4-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Oct 6 08:22:27 CEST
2014 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Where am I going wrong?

Any help very much appreciated.

John
