Hi. I've been implementing romfs support into grub, and need
help with regard to automake/autoconf and friends.
First, about romfs. It's a simple, read-only filesystem,
included in Linux 2.4. There's a file documenting the on-disk
layout in the kernel source, you can browse it at
http://lxr.linux.no/source/Documentation/filesystems/romfs.txt?v=2.4.17
and the actual implementation is at
http://lxr.linux.no/source/fs/romfs/?v=2.4.17
Now, I have a patch that implements the first steps towards
romfs support in grub. The code is still very raw, and I have
only tested it with the grub shell tool, not booted from it.
However, I can't progress any further without some help from
you.
It seems that I can't create Makefile.in etc from Makefile.am
succesfully. Rather than drag you down into debugging auto* for
me, could you apply the patch (fix the Makefile.am part if I
misunderstood something), regenerate the generated files, and
send them to me? Thank you.
Any input as to the functioning of fsys_romfs.c is
appreciated, the interface is very sketchy and I had to guess
what global variables to manipulate. I will format the code to
fit the existing coding style before proper submission.
