| | 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://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/bison/m4-1.4.1.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>. |
