| 3 | These notes intend to help people working on the CVS versions of |
| 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: |
| 11 | |
| 12 | - Automake 1.7 |
| 13 | |
| 14 | - Autoconf 2.54 |
| 15 | |
| 16 | - Gettext 0.11.5 |
| 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 | |
| 31 | $ ./bootstrap |
| 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! |
| 45 | |
| 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 | |
| 51 | If you experience problems, I suggest the following: |
| 52 | |
| 53 | 1. Do a regular CVS checkout |
| 54 | |
| 55 | 2. Fetch a recent tarball in: |
| 56 | http://www.lrde.epita.fr/~akim/download/ |
| 57 | |
| 58 | 3. Extract it |
| 59 | |
| 60 | 4. Override the content of your checkout with the content of this |
| 61 | tarball, i.e.: |
| 62 | cp -r bison-1.49b/* bison-cvs |
| 63 | |
| 64 | 5. Proceed on ./configure && make etc. |
