Re: [Trustedgrub-users] Trouble building 1.1.3 on Fedora

[Marcel S. <m.s...@si...>]

Hi Matt,

oh... never heard of that error message before ;)
My binutils-version is 2.18, but I'm pretty sure, that 2.17 should
work as well... Which version of aclocal, autoconf, automake etc. are
you using? Can you post the complete log of ./configure?
I have successfully build TrustedGRUB on Gentoo, Debian, Ubuntu and
SuSE. In case you can't compile via Fedora, you could use a Gentoo
LiveCD, since there are compiler and stuff on board.

Best regards,
Marcel
