[SOLVED] Can't build Grub

Unia · 2012-08-24 19:15:56

Hey all,

I'm trying to patch Grub so that it doesn't show the "Welcome to GRUB" message during startup. I have done as is explained here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub- … 00176.html
This is the diff file I came up with:

--- main.c.orig 2012-06-25 22:33:41.000000000 +0200
+++ src/grub-2.00/grub-core/kern/main.c 2012-08-24 20:59:37.129694404 +0200
@@ -210,11 +210,6 @@
   /* First of all, initialize the machine.  */
   grub_machine_init ();
 
-  /* Hello.  */
-  grub_setcolorstate (GRUB_TERM_COLOR_HIGHLIGHT);
-  grub_printf ("Welcome to GRUB!\n\n");
-  grub_setcolorstate (GRUB_TERM_COLOR_STANDARD);
-
   /* Load pre-loaded modules and free the space.  */
   grub_register_exported_symbols ();
 #ifdef GRUB_LINKER_HAVE_INIT

But now, when I try building I get the following:

I have also tried building without applying my patch, and I get the same output. What's going on here?

Then still it shows "Welcome to Grub". That message shows before you see the menu.

Darn, sorry. I forgot to use the search function.

Thanks!
