Cannot automake after patching grub with grub-2003-01-08-doc.patch

[Selwyn Tang]

Dear all,

I downloaded the latest snapshot of grub through cvs and applied 
grub-2003-01-08-doc.patch with only one rejection in ChangeLog. I then 
followed README_DiskOnChip to run aclocal successfully. But when I run 
automake, a lot of "AMDEP does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL" messages 
appeared! For examples,

/usr/share/automake-1.5/am/depend2.am: AMDEP does not appear in 
AM_CONDITIONAL
/usr/share/automake-1.5/am/lang-compile.am: AMDEP does not appear in 
AM_CONDITIONAL

Before that, I use automake 1.4p5 and when I run automake it told me 
that 1.5 was expected. Then I ln -s automake to automake-1.5 in my 
RedHat 7.3, and got the above error.

Have anyone successfully applied the patch to grub, compiled it and get 
the "grub_firmware" file in stage1/ ?

Yours,

Selwyn
