Package grub-legacy is not available

[sloganking]

Package grub-legacy is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  grub-coreboot:i386 grub-coreboot grub2-common:i386 grub-pc:i386 grub-ieee1275:i386 grub-efi-ia32:i386
  grub-efi-amd64:i386 grub2-common grub-pc grub-ieee1275 grub-efi-ia32 grub-efi-amd64

E: Package 'grub-legacy' has no installation candidate

Error received on Linux Mint 19.1.

try this:sudo apt-get install grub-legacy
if this isn't work then you should update apt-get repository or upgrade

Grub-legacy isn't no longer available. Instead you should use grub-common which has all the tools that grub legacy had.

I did install grub2 and this worked for me.

@fgsoftware1 Don't create a 32-bit kernel, its 2021 and i386 came out in the 90s. Instead target x86_64, which most computers use nowadays

Also, you should look at these 2 resources...

1. Use a acutal build system (I prefer GNU Make or Meson), using a shell script isn't the best of ideas
2. Check out these 2 sites

• Stivale2 Barebones - A kernel written in C that uses limine bootloader
• Osdev Wiki - The greatest resource to a hobby operating system developer

If you have any questions, just ask here or on the Osdev Discord (I am devlooper on discord)
With that said, I wish you the best of luck!

im migrating system to 64-bit and i use ninja to build

[circutrider21]

Well, using writing ninja files by hand can get tedious, since ninja lacks the expression evaluation features of make.
I also didn't notice that you we're migrating to 64-bit, my bad.

That's a good resource I guess. Its more modern then this tutorial, that's for sure.
You should see the links I sent earlier, they are what I used when I was starting.

I guess this is more clear and modern, but it is far too shallow. He hasn't talked about GTD, Interrupts, networking e.g. And he isn't probably doing that in the near future. I am like many other an absolute beginner. This tutorial may be old, but its a starting point. OsDev.org is nice, but it isn't very handy to start.

Maybe you guys have a nice alternative :)

I was talking about the tutorial from David Callanan. This is more clear e.g. But this isn't quite extensive. The tutorial from this repo offers more information. If wyoos tutorial is not good, to start with, what is?
