[oe] x86->x86 GRUB bootable image in OE?

[Leon Woestenberg]

Hello,


on x86 target support, I have some ideas how to create bootable disk
images from OE using GRUB (not using the post image command approach).

However, I suspect this will only work if we have GRUB on the host,
i.e. assume a x86 host, and have grub-native.

grub-native would be step one, but I am having a hard time getting the
staging to work.

In general, for staging host-native tools, do we use the "make
install" approach?


Regards,

Leon.
