3These notes intend to help people working on the CVS versions of
4Bison.
5
6* Requirements
7
8Only the sources are installed in the CVS repository (to ease the
9maintenance, merges etc.), therefore you will have to the maintainer
10tools we depend upon:
11
12- Automake 1.7
13
14- Autoconf 2.57
15
16- Gettext 0.12.1
17
18- CVS Bison itself
19
20Only building the initial full source tree will be a bit painful,
21later, a plain `cvs update -P & make' should be sufficient.
22
23* First CVS checkout
24
25Obviously, if you are reading these notes, you did manage to check out
26Bison from CVS. For the records, you will find all the relevant
27information on:
28
29 http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group_id=56
30
31The next step is asking the installation of all the missing files:
32
33 $ ./bootstrap
34
35And there you are! Just
36
37 $ ./configure && make && make check
38
39At this point, there should be no difference between your local copy,
40and the CVS master copy:
41
42 $ cvs diff
43
44should output no difference, except maybe the date in po/*.po files.
45
46Enjoy!
47
48* Troubleshooting
49
50Unfortunately the current Gettext still does not include all the
51needed tools so that the bootstrapping always perform successfully.
52
53If you experience problems, I suggest the following:
54
551. Do a regular CVS checkout
56
572. Fetch a recent tarball in:
58 http://www.lrde.epita.fr/~akim/download/
59
603. Extract it
61
624. Override the content of your checkout with the content of this
63 tarball, i.e.:
64 cp -r bison-1.49b/* bison-cvs
65
665. Proceed on ./configure && make etc.
