PACKAGING

   1 Packaging hints for binary package distributors
   2 ===============================================
   3
   4 Although the source of the bison package comes as a single package,
   5 in distributions of binary packages the installed files should
   6 be split into two packages:
   7
   8    bison-runtime
   9         Contents: Runtime libraries and programs.
  10         Audience: Anyone who wants to run internationalized programs
  11                   that contain Bison-generated parsers.
  12
  13    bison
  14         Contents: Tools and documentation for developers that use Bison.
  15         Audience: Anyone who wants to develop programs that use parsers.
  16         Dependencies: requires bison-runtime.
  17
  18 The 'bison-runtime' binary package is much smaller than the 'bison'
  19 binary package.  It should be included in any distribution that
  20 contains programs that use the diagnostics contained in
  21 Bison-generated parsers, e.g., Gawk, GCC, Perl.
  22
  23 If you want to install both packages at the same time, you simply do
  24 at the toplevel directory:
  25
  26       ./configure
  27       make
  28       make install
  29
  30 After installation, the files
  31
  32       $prefix/share/locale/*/LC_MESSAGES/bison-runtime.mo
  33
  34 belong to the bison-runtime package; all other installed files belong
  35 to in the bison package.
