Question about which tools to use, bugs, the best way to implement a function, etc should go here. Don't forget to see if your question is answered in the wiki first! When in doubt post here.
Hi..
I have downloaded grub source code from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/grub.
I have compiled that source code using ./configure then make command but i have not get any binary file.
Actually i want to use GRUB boot loader for my own Os.

./configure does not actually compile GRUB. It simply prepares the building and makes sure you have all necessary tools and libraries.
After you have run configure you have to run make as well.
Then they should be in bin or a similar folder. If you are unable to find them, here are an archive containing stag1 and stage2 for GRUB 0.97. There also is binary releases on the FTP.
thank you for very much for the reply but it hardly help me actually i want to get binary file of grub-1.99 version.there is not any bin file after the compilation of the source file..

if the compile didn't report any errors, the files ARE there... you just haven't found em. have a peek at the Makefile for clues.
