6 | Bison requires GNU m4 1.4 or later. Vanilla GNU m4 1.4 has some |
| 7 | serious bugs, so we recommend using m4 1.4 as patched by the standard | |
| 8 | GNU/Linux distributions. If you're building GNU m4 1.4 from scratch | |
| 9 | we suggest using this version: | |

13 | Older versions of Sun Forte Developer 6 update 2 have a compiler bug |
| 14 | that cause "make check" to fail with a "Encounter BINCL entry" | |
| 15 | diagnostic. To fix the bug, update to the latest set of Solaris and | |
| 16 | Forte patches recommended by Sun. | |

18 | VMS and MS-DOS builds are probably broken right now. If you are able |
| 19 | to build Bison on either platform and you need to make changes to do | |
| 974075dc PE |
20 | so, please submit those changes as a bug report. On VMS, you will |
| 21 | probably have to create Makefile from Makefile.in by hand. Remember | |
| 22 | to do `SET COMMAND BISON' to install the data in `BISON.CLD'. | |

| 974075dc | 24 | Send bug reports to <bug-bison@gnu.org>. Please include the version |
| 5c9ba631 JT |
25 | number from `bison --version', and a complete, self-contained test |
| 26 | case in each bug report. | |

29 | not answer, send mail to <help-bison@gnu.org>. |
