Grub2 should build out of the box on Cygwin. The following works for me with current grub2 svn (revision 2001) on current Cygwin 1.5.25-15: $ ./configure --enable-grub-fstest --prefix=/tmp/inst $ make $ make install $ /tmp/inst/bin/grub-mkrescue grub-rescue.iso ... boot grub-rescue.iso ... There is actually one issue in current grub2 svn: Build with --enable-grub-emu configure option does not work. It fails with undefined symbol 'grub_millisleep'. What is the error message you got on Cygwin ? -- Christian Franke _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
