Caution: GRUB requires binutils-2.9.1.0.23 or later because the GNU assembler has been changed so that it can produce real 16bits machine code between 2.9.1 and 2.9.1.0.x. See http://sourceware.cygnus.com/binutils/, to obtain information on how to get the latest version.
GRUB is available from the GNU alpha archive site ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub or any of its mirrors. The file will be named grub-version.tar.gz. The current version is 0.90, so the file you should grab is:
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub/grub-0.90.tar.gz
To unbundle GRUB use the instruction:
zcat grub-0.90.tar.gz | tar xvf -
which will create a directory called `grub-0.90' with all the sources. You can look at the file `INSTALL' for detailed instructions on how to build and install GRUB, but you should be able to just do:
cd grub-0.90 ./configure make install
This will install the grub shell `grub' (see section Invoking the grub shell), the Multiboot checker `mbchk' (see section Invoking mbchk), and the GRUB images. This will also install the GRUB manual.
Also, the latest version is available from the CVS. The repository is:
:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/grub
and the module is:
grub
The password for anoncvs is empty. So the instruction is:
cvs -d :pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/grub login Password: ENTER cvs -d :pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/grub co grub
