| 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 AD |
11 | |
| 12 | - Automake 1.6 or 1.6.1 | |
| 2ab9a04f | 13 | |
| e91ff6ce AD |
14 | - Autoconf 2.53a or better |
| 15 | ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.53a.tar.gz (992 kB) | |
| 16 | ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.53a.tar.bz2 (756 kB) | |
| 2ab9a04f AD |
17 | |
| 18 | - Gettext 0.11.3 pre 2 or better | |
| 19 | http://www.lrde.epita.fr/~akim/download/gettext-0.11.3-pre2.tar.gz | |
| d1a6f01e AD |
20 | |
| 21 | Only building the initial full source tree will be a bit painful, | |
| 22 | later, a plain `cvs update -P & make' should be sufficient. | |
| 23 | ||
| 24 | * First CVS checkout | |
| 25 | ||
| 26 | Obviously, if you are reading these notes, you did manage to check out | |
| 27 | Bison from CVS. For the records, you will find all the relevant | |
| 28 | information on: | |
| 29 | ||
| 30 | http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group_id=56 | |
| 31 | ||
| 32 | The next step is asking the installation of all the missing files: | |
| 33 | ||
| 01c56de4 | 34 | $ ./bootstrap |
| d1a6f01e AD |
35 | |
| 36 | And there you are! Just | |
| 37 | ||
| 38 | $ ./configure && make && make check | |
| 39 | ||
| 40 | At this point, there should be no difference between your local copy, | |
| 41 | and the CVS master copy: | |
| 42 | ||
| 43 | $ cvs diff | |
| 44 | ||
| 45 | should output no difference, except maybe the date in po/*.po files. | |
| 46 | ||
| 47 | Enjoy! | |

49 | * Troubleshooting |
| 50 | ||
| 51 | Unfortunately the current Gettext still does not include all the | |
| 52 | needed tools so that the bootstrapping always perform successfully. | |
| 53 | ||
| 54 | If you experiment problems, I suggest the following: | |
| 55 | ||
| 2ab9a04f AD |
56 | 1. Do a regular CVS checkout |
| 57 | ||
| 58 | 2. Fetch a recent tarball. | |
| 59 | http://www.lrde.epita.fr/~akim/download/bison-1.49b.tar.gz | |
| 60 | ||
| 61 | 3. Extract it | |
| 62 | ||
| 63 | 4. Override the content of your checkout with the content of this | |
| 976e6270 AD |
64 | tarball, i.e.: |
| 65 | cp -r bison-1.49b/* bison-cvs | |
| 2ab9a04f AD |
66 | |
| 67 | 5. Proceed on ./configure && make etc. | |
