I've just fixed the ft2build problem. AFAICS no bugs remain in this bugreport. Closing

I'm not sure about the others yet, I'm afraid, although you appear to at least have workarounds (but this bug remains open). I've committed a variant of my help2man patch after review on grub-devel.

Just to clarify, now it works not because of the changes in grub2 version or the host system, but thanks to your patch.

I tried revision 2584 and changed i686-unknown-linux-gnu to i486-unknown-linux-gnu (switched to another host system), and now grub2 is built without any errors. Any suggestions for the other problems? Thanks.

Does the attached patch deal with the help2man problem?

I'm trying to cross-compile grub2 SVN revision 2550 with the following configure arguments: --prefix=/usr --build=i686-unknown-linux-gnu --host=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu --target=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu (host system is i686 while target system is x86_64). I get the following error message:

configure: error: platform "pc" is not supported for target CPU "x86_64"

I then added the --with-platform=efi configure argument (my Intel motherboard seems to support UEFI). Now I get the following error message:

../grub2-2550/util/grub-mkfont.c:28:22: error: ft2build.h No such file or directory

So I also added the --disable-grub-mkfont configure argument. Again, I get a different error message:

help2man: can't get `--help' info from ./grub-mkimage
help2man: can't get `--help' info from ./grub-mkelfimage
help2man: can't get `--help' info from ./grub-fstest
help2man: can't get `--help' info from ./grub-editenv
make: * [install-local] Error 126

I don't know a workaround for this last message, but I think it is due to the fact that the host system is 32-bit while the target system is 64-bit, so the target binaries cannot be executed.
