| d1a6f01e | 3 | These notes intend to help people working on the CVS versions of |
| 2ab9a04f AD |
4 | Bison. |
| 5 | ||
| 6 | * Requirements | |
| 7 | ||
| 8 | Only the sources are installed in the CVS repository (to ease the | |
| 9 | maintenance, merges etc.), therefore you will have to the maintainer | |
| 10 | tools we depend upon: | |
| d1a6f01e | 11 | |
| a5c75d7f | 12 | - Automake 1.7 |
| 2ab9a04f | 13 | |
| cd3684cf | 14 | - Autoconf 2.57 |
| 2ab9a04f | 15 | |
| cd3684cf AD |
16 | - Gettext 0.12.1 |
| 17 | ||
| 18 | - CVS Bison itself | |
| d1a6f01e AD |
19 | |
| 20 | Only building the initial full source tree will be a bit painful, | |
| 21 | later, a plain `cvs update -P & make' should be sufficient. | |
| 22 | ||
| 23 | * First CVS checkout | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | Obviously, if you are reading these notes, you did manage to check out | |
| 26 | Bison from CVS. For the records, you will find all the relevant | |
| 27 | information on: | |
| 28 | ||
| 29 | http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group_id=56 | |
| 30 | ||
| 31 | The next step is asking the installation of all the missing files: | |
| 32 | ||
| 01c56de4 | 33 | $ ./bootstrap |
| d1a6f01e AD |
34 | |
| 35 | And there you are! Just | |
| 36 | ||
| 37 | $ ./configure && make && make check | |
| 38 | ||
| 39 | At this point, there should be no difference between your local copy, | |
| 40 | and the CVS master copy: | |
| 41 | ||
| 42 | $ cvs diff | |
| 43 | ||
| 44 | should output no difference, except maybe the date in po/*.po files. | |
| 45 | ||
| 46 | Enjoy! | |

48 | * Troubleshooting |
| 49 | ||
| 50 | Unfortunately the current Gettext still does not include all the | |
| 51 | needed tools so that the bootstrapping always perform successfully. | |
| 52 | ||
| 1b17ce8e | 53 | If you experience problems, I suggest the following: |
| 976e6270 | 54 | |
| 2ab9a04f AD |
55 | 1. Do a regular CVS checkout |
| 56 | ||
| bd701811 AD |
57 | 2. Fetch a recent tarball in: |
| 58 | http://www.lrde.epita.fr/~akim/download/ | |
| 2ab9a04f AD |
59 | |
| 60 | 3. Extract it | |
| 61 | ||
| 62 | 4. Override the content of your checkout with the content of this | |
| 976e6270 AD |
63 | tarball, i.e.: |
| 64 | cp -r bison-1.49b/* bison-cvs | |
| 2ab9a04f AD |
65 | |
| 66 | 5. Proceed on ./configure && make etc. | |
