This is on a macbookpro9,2, running Fedora 20, and I've git cloned from
git://git.savannah.gnu.org/grub.git and I'm in master branch.
$ ./configure
checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking target system type… x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
The unknown seems suspicious. And at the end I see "GRUB2 will be compiled with
following components:
Platform: i386-pc" which is also wrong.
If I use --with-platform=efi, then at the end I get "GRUB2 will be compiled
with following components:
Platform: x86_64-efi" which is correct.
In the configure file I see this:
# Guess the platform if not specified.
if test "x$with_platform" = x; then
case "$target_cpu"-"$target_vendor" in
i386-apple) platform=efi ;;
i386-*) platform=pc ;;
x86_64-apple) platform=efi ;;
I guess $target_vendor isn't getting set to apple and therefore platform
doesn't get set to efi.
