Building GRUB2 failed at step make

Hello,

I have a problem. I wanted to build GRUB2 but it failed at the command make. I attached the console output. Sorry some words are in German.

Fehler = error
wird verlassen = is left
die Regel = the rule
Verzeichnis = directory
scheiterte = failed
für Ziel = for target

How can I solve this problem I installed all dependencies??

Is there any reason you can't use the grub2 from the Ubuntu repositories?

Grub2 is in the official repositories? Is grub2 precompiled there?

Just: sudo apt-get install grub2 and sudo apt-get install xorriso to make sure your builds are not failing because of that. Why would you want to compile GRUB, just use those two commands.

Hi,
in order to have standard error messages , prefix your command line with LC_ALL=C.
Many GNU software needs to be configured before running make. So go ahead and run:

Code:

LC_ALL=C ./configure

Thanks for your answers I am going to test these solutions soon. Besides I am going to install grub2 via the official repositories
