Posted October 26, 2012 (edited) As Clover is a OpenSource project, everyone who wantsto compile may compile...To make the things a lot easier, STLVNUB made a scriptthat makes all the hard work for you, this way you canhave Clover always at the latest revision without the need to wait till someone publish a new package and also, makeyour own changes to the code if needed...You will need to have Xcode and Command Line Tools in orderto use the script...Additional tools to compile Clover will be automaticallyinstalled by the script.New Git Repository > https://github.com/STLVNUB/CloverGrower*********************************************************************CloverGrower by STLVNUB > How To Make Efi Bootloader - Project OS X Forums Edited January 14, 2013 by kyndder skenter likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 27, 2012 (edited) Download and run the installer...Press continue and when you reach the customisation section, change the install location if needed then press "Customize"…Read carefully the instructions given for each option after you select a entry at the bottom of the window, if you don't understand exactly which option you should choose, you can use the options selected at the image below…Click "Install", write your password, wait till the installation finishes and reboot... If you installed Clover using "boot1f32alt", you own the ability to have and use more than one bootloader on the same disk...boot1f32alt gives to you 2 seconds to press the number of your desired boot file and choose the Bootloader that you want to use...For example, assuming that you installed 64bit Clover as default option, you can use the 32bit one by pressing "3", or if you rename Chameleon's "boot" file to "boot1", if you press "1" you can use Chameleon as Bootloader...There's also the possibility to have XPC and Revoboot, for detailed instructions take look here > One Fat32 Usb Stick With Many Hackintosh Bootloaders/managers - Project OS X Forums Thanks to dmazar for this awesome tip!

Posted October 27, 2012 (edited) Clover main goal is EFI booting...If you plan to use Clover, keep in mind that Legacy boot (non EFI boot) may work or not, so,maybe you can't boot your current Windows or Linux Installations through Clover...In this case, you can use the "tip" at Installation section and have the ability to use Chameleonto boot your "Legacy" OS and have all Clover's benefits to boot OS X...This does not mean that in the future this will not be completely fixed...********************************************************************************For those having issues with Legacy Boot (non UEFI boot) using the default option...<key>LegacyBoot</key><string>PBR</string>You can try using the option below...<key>LegacyBoot</key><string>LegacyBiosDefault</string> Edited November 5, 2012 by kyndder Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
