| 3 | * Installation |
| 4 | ** Build |
| 5 | See the file INSTALL for generic compilation and installation |
| 6 | instructions. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | Bison requires GNU m4 1.4.6 or later. See: |
| 9 | |
| 10 | ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/m4-1.4.6.tar.gz |
| 11 | |
| 12 | ** Internationalization |
| 13 | Bison supports two catalogues: one for Bison itself (i.e., for the |
| 14 | maintainer-side parser generation), and one for the generated parsers |
| 15 | (i.e., for the user-side parser execution). The requirements between |
| 16 | both differ: bison needs ngettext, the generated parsers do not. To |
| 17 | simplify the build system, neither are installed if ngettext is not |
| 18 | supported, even if generated parsers could have been localized. See |
| 19 | http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2009-08/msg00006.html for |
| 20 | more details. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | * Questions |
| 23 | See the section FAQ in the documentation (doc/bison.info) for |
| 24 | frequently asked questions. The documentation is also available in |
| 25 | PDF and HTML, provided you have a recent version of Texinfo installed: |
| 26 | run "make pdf" or "make html". |
| 27 | |
| 28 | If you have questions about using Bison and the documentation does |
| 29 | not answer them, please send mail to <help-bison@gnu.org>. |

| 32 | Please send bug reports to <bug-bison@gnu.org>. Please include the |

| 34 | test case in each bug report. |
