6 | Bison requires GNU m4 1.4 or later. Vanilla GNU m4 1.4 has some | |
7 | serious bugs, so we recommend using m4 1.4 as patched by the standard | |
8 | GNU/Linux distributions. If you're building GNU m4 1.4 from scratch | |
9 | we suggest using this version: | |
10 | ||
11 | ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/m4-1.4.2.tar.gz | |
12 | ||
13 | Older versions of Sun Forte Developer 6 update 2 have a compiler bug | |
14 | that cause "make check" to fail with a "Encounter BINCL entry" | |
15 | diagnostic. To fix the bug, update to the latest set of Solaris and | |
16 | Forte patches recommended by Sun. | |
17 | ||
18 | VMS and MS-DOS builds are probably broken right now. If you are able | |
19 | to build Bison on either platform and you need to make changes to do | |
20 | so, please submit those changes as a bug report. On VMS, you will | |
21 | probably have to create Makefile from Makefile.in by hand. Remember | |
22 | to do `SET COMMAND BISON' to install the data in `BISON.CLD'. | |
23 | ||
24 | Send bug reports to <bug-bison@gnu.org>. Please include the version | |
25 | number from `bison --version', and a complete, self-contained test | |
26 | case in each bug report. | |
27 | ||
28 | If you have questions about using Bison which the documentation does | |
29 | not answer, send mail to <help-bison@gnu.org>. | |
