Worked. Felt dirty having to replace gcc, etc., with their multilib counterparts. Also, before building this succeeded I had to uninstall the old `grub` package first. I built, installed, restarted, and now here I am.

This is the reason. Can you please install it and check?

fosskers commented on 2012-07-21 02:47 (UTC)

Nope, I don't have that installed.

I suspect the problem is that you do not have multilib-devel installed? If the reason in this, I will add it as a makedepends for x86_64.

x86_64

ava1ar commented on 2012-07-21 02:35 (UTC)

Are you building? i686 or x86_64?

fosskers commented on 2012-07-21 02:35 (UTC)

Now why would this be happening...: checking for gcc... gcc checking for gcc... (cached) gcc checking whether the C compiler works... no configure: error: in `/boot/grub-legacy-1862/grub-legacy/src/grub-0.97': configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables File permissions maybe? Typically package building occurs as non-root user, but this is attempting to build right into /boot and thus it fails?

Adopted: - PKGBUILD cleanup; - added patch for automake issue; - got rid of DESTARCH envvar (using CARCH) Tested on both i686 and x86_64 architectures and seems to work fine. Please report issues here, if any.
