| | 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 get the latest |
| | 10 | stable versions of the maintainer tools we depend upon, including: |
| | 11 | |
| | 12 | - Automake |
| | 13 | - Autoconf |
| | 14 | - Flex |
| | 15 | - Gettext |
| | 16 | - CVS Bison itself |
| | 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 | ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/bison/ |
| | 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-1.875c/* bison-cvs |
| | 63 | |
| | 64 | 5. Proceed on ./configure && make etc. |
