1 | These notes intend to help people working on the CVS versions of |
| 2 | Bison. Only the sources are installed in the CVS repository (to ease | |
| 3 | the maintenance, merges etc.), therefore you will have to the | |
| 4 | maintainer tools we depend upon: | |
| 5 | ||
| 6 | - Automake 1.6 or 1.6.1 | |
| e91ff6ce AD |
7 | - Autoconf 2.53a or better |
| 8 | ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.53a.tar.gz (992 kB) | |
| 9 | ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.53a.tar.bz2 (756 kB) | |
| 2de3acee | 10 | - Gettext 0.11.3 |
| d1a6f01e AD |
11 | |
| 12 | Only building the initial full source tree will be a bit painful, | |
| 13 | later, a plain `cvs update -P & make' should be sufficient. | |
| 14 | ||
| 15 | * First CVS checkout | |
| 16 | ||
| 17 | Obviously, if you are reading these notes, you did manage to check out | |
| 18 | Bison from CVS. For the records, you will find all the relevant | |
| 19 | information on: | |
| 20 | ||
| 21 | http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group_id=56 | |
| 22 | ||
| 23 | The next step is asking the installation of all the missing files: | |
| 24 | ||
| 01c56de4 | 25 | $ ./bootstrap |
| d1a6f01e AD |
26 | |
| 27 | And there you are! Just | |
| 28 | ||
| 29 | $ ./configure && make && make check | |
| 30 | ||
| 31 | At this point, there should be no difference between your local copy, | |
| 32 | and the CVS master copy: | |
| 33 | ||
| 34 | $ cvs diff | |
| 35 | ||
| 36 | should output no difference, except maybe the date in po/*.po files. | |
| 37 | ||
| 38 | Enjoy! | |

40 | * Troubleshooting |
| 41 | ||
| 42 | Unfortunately the current Gettext still does not include all the | |
| 43 | needed tools so that the bootstrapping always perform successfully. | |
| 44 | ||
| 45 | If you experiment problems, I suggest the following: | |
| 46 | ||
| 47 | 1. do a regular CVS checkout | |
| 48 | 2. fetch http://www.lrde.epita.fr/~akim/download/bison-1.49b.tar.gz | |
| 49 | 3. extract it | |
| 50 | 4. override the content of your checkout with the content of this | |
| 51 | tarball, i.e.: | |
| 52 | cp -r bison-1.49b/* bison-cvs | |
| 53 | 5. proceed on ./configure && make etc. | |
