6Bison requires GNU m4 1.4 or later. Vanilla GNU m4 1.4 has some
7serious bugs, so we recommend using m4 1.4 as patched by the standard
8GNU/Linux distributions. If you're building GNU m4 1.4 from scratch
9we suggest using this version:

13Older versions of Sun Forte Developer 6 update 2 have a compiler bug
14that cause "make check" to fail with a "Encounter BINCL entry"
15diagnostic. To fix the bug, update to the latest set of Solaris and
16Forte patches recommended by Sun.

18VMS and MS-DOS builds are probably broken right now. If you are able
19to build Bison on either platform and you need to make changes to do
20so, please submit those changes as a bug report. On VMS, you will
21probably have to create Makefile from Makefile.in by hand. Remember
22to do `SET COMMAND BISON' to install the data in `BISON.CLD'.
23
24Send bug reports to <bug-bison@gnu.org>. Please include the version
25number from `bison --version', and a complete, self-contained test
26case in each bug report.

28If you have questions about using Bison which the documentation does
29not answer, send mail to <help-bison@gnu.org>.
