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

48* Troubleshooting
49
50Unfortunately the current Gettext still does not include all the
51needed tools so that the bootstrapping always perform successfully.
52
1b17ce8e 53If you experience problems, I suggest the following:
976e6270 54
2ab9a04f
AD
551. Do a regular CVS checkout
56
bd701811
AD
572. Fetch a recent tarball in:
58 http://www.lrde.epita.fr/~akim/download/
2ab9a04f
AD
59
603. Extract it
61
624. 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
665. Proceed on ./configure && make etc.
