| | 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 1.6 or 1.6.1 |
| | 13 | |
| | 14 | - Autoconf 2.53a or better |
| | 15 | ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.53a.tar.gz (992 kB) |
| | 16 | ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.53a.tar.bz2 (756 kB) |
| | 17 | |
| | 18 | - Gettext 0.11.3 pre 2 or better |
| | 19 | http://www.lrde.epita.fr/~akim/download/gettext-0.11.3-pre2.tar.gz |
| | 20 | |
| | 21 | Only building the initial full source tree will be a bit painful, |
| | 22 | later, a plain `cvs update -P & make' should be sufficient. |
| | 23 | |
| | 24 | * First CVS checkout |
| | 25 | |
| | 26 | Obviously, if you are reading these notes, you did manage to check out |
| | 27 | Bison from CVS. For the records, you will find all the relevant |
| | 28 | information on: |
| | 29 | |
| | 30 | http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group_id=56 |
| | 31 | |
| | 32 | The next step is asking the installation of all the missing files: |
| | 33 | |
| | 34 | $ ./bootstrap |
| | 35 | |
| | 36 | And there you are! Just |
| | 37 | |
| | 38 | $ ./configure && make && make check |
| | 39 | |
| | 40 | At this point, there should be no difference between your local copy, |
| | 41 | and the CVS master copy: |
| | 42 | |
| | 43 | $ cvs diff |
| | 44 | |
| | 45 | should output no difference, except maybe the date in po/*.po files. |
| | 46 | |
| | 47 | Enjoy! |
| | 48 | |
| | 49 | * Troubleshooting |
| | 50 | |
| | 51 | Unfortunately the current Gettext still does not include all the |
| | 52 | needed tools so that the bootstrapping always perform successfully. |
| | 53 | |
| | 54 | If you experiment problems, I suggest the following: |
| | 55 | |
| | 56 | 1. Do a regular CVS checkout |
| | 57 | |
| | 58 | 2. Fetch a recent tarball. |
| | 59 | http://www.lrde.epita.fr/~akim/download/bison-1.49b.tar.gz |
| | 60 | |
| | 61 | 3. Extract it |
| | 62 | |
| | 63 | 4. Override the content of your checkout with the content of this |
| | 64 | tarball, i.e.: |
| | 65 | cp -r bison-1.49b/* bison-cvs |
| | 66 | |
| | 67 | 5. Proceed on ./configure && make etc. |
