| 5 | See the file INSTALL for generic compilation and installation | |
| 6 | instructions. | |

8 | Bison requires GNU m4 1.4.6 or later. See: |

| 12 | ** Internationalization | |
| 13 | Bison supports two catalogues: one for Bison itself (i.e., for the | |
| 14 | maintainer-side parser generation), and one for the generated parsers | |
| 15 | (i.e., for the user-side parser execution). The requirements between | |
| 16 | both differ: bison needs ngettext, the generated parsers do not. To | |
| 17 | simplify the build system, neither are installed if ngettext is not | |
| 18 | supported, even if generated parsers could have been localized. See | |
| 19 | http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2009-08/msg00006.html for | |
| 20 | more details. | |
