6 | Bison requires GNU m4 1.4 (or later, if a later version of GNU m4 |
| 7 | becomes available). The following m4 patches are recommended: | |

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

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

| 974075dc | 23 | Send bug reports to <bug-bison@gnu.org>. Please include the version |
| 5c9ba631 JT |
24 | number from `bison --version', and a complete, self-contained test |
| 25 | case in each bug report. | |
