| 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 | |
| 1f65350a PE |
9 | maintenance, merges etc.), therefore you will have to get the latest |
| 10 | stable versions of the maintainer tools we depend upon, including: | |
| cd3684cf | 11 | |
| 1f65350a PE |
12 | - Automake |
| 13 | - Autoconf | |
| 14 | - Flex | |
| 15 | - Gettext | |
| cd3684cf | 16 | - CVS Bison itself |
| d1a6f01e AD |
17 | |
| 18 | Only building the initial full source tree will be a bit painful, | |
| 19 | later, a plain `cvs update -P & make' should be sufficient. | |
| 20 | ||
| 21 | * First CVS checkout | |
| 22 | ||
| 23 | Obviously, if you are reading these notes, you did manage to check out | |
| 24 | Bison from CVS. For the records, you will find all the relevant | |
| 25 | information on: | |
| 26 | ||
| 27 | http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group_id=56 | |
| 28 | ||
| 29 | The next step is asking the installation of all the missing files: | |
| 30 | ||
| 01c56de4 | 31 | $ ./bootstrap |
| d1a6f01e AD |
32 | |
| 33 | And there you are! Just | |
| 34 | ||
| 35 | $ ./configure && make && make check | |
| 36 | ||
| 37 | At this point, there should be no difference between your local copy, | |
| 38 | and the CVS master copy: | |
| 39 | ||
| 40 | $ cvs diff | |
| 41 | ||
| 42 | should output no difference, except maybe the date in po/*.po files. | |
| 43 | ||
| 44 | Enjoy! | |

46 | * Troubleshooting |
| 47 | ||
| 48 | Unfortunately the current Gettext still does not include all the | |
| 49 | needed tools so that the bootstrapping always perform successfully. | |
| 50 | ||
| 1b17ce8e | 51 | If you experience problems, I suggest the following: |
| 976e6270 | 52 | |
| 2ab9a04f AD |
53 | 1. Do a regular CVS checkout |
| 54 | ||
| bd701811 | 55 | 2. Fetch a recent tarball in: |
| 1f65350a | 56 | ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/bison/ |
| 2ab9a04f AD |
57 | |
| 58 | 3. Extract it | |
| 59 | ||
| 60 | 4. Override the content of your checkout with the content of this | |
| 976e6270 | 61 | tarball, i.e.: |
| 1f65350a | 62 | cp -r bison-1.875c/* bison-cvs |
| 2ab9a04f AD |
63 | |
| 64 | 5. Proceed on ./configure && make etc. | |
