Description Chen Qi 2013-08-09 05:55:50 UTC

I tried grub_0.97 with live images. The grub-install command failed with 'stage1 not found' error.

A quick look at the Makefile and patches shows that this is caused by the following patch.
meta/recipes-bsp/grub/grub-0.97/grub_fix_for_automake-1.12.patch

The patch above is an effort to fix build with automake, but it has the side effect of stage1 and stage2 not installed.

After some investigation, I found the real cause.

Although pkglib was replaced by pkgdata to work around this problem, the pkgdatadir was not set up in stage1/Makefile.am and stage2/Makefile.am, thus this error.

Patch will be sent soon to fix this.
