3 See the file INSTALL for generic compilation and installation instructions.

5 See the section FAQ in the documentation (doc/bison.info) for
6 frequently asked questions. The documentation is also available in
7 PDF and HTML, provided you have a recent version of Texinfo installed:
8 run "make pdf" or "make html".

10 Bison requires GNU m4 1.4.6 or later. See:
11
12 ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/m4-1.4.6.tar.gz
13
14 Bison can work with pre-1.4.6 distributions of GNU m4 if they are
15 sufficiently patched, but if you encounter a bug with an older
16 distribution and report a bug we will probably suggest that you
17 upgrade to 1.4.6 as the first step in trying to fix it.
18
19 Please send bug reports to <bug-bison@gnu.org>. Please include the
20 version number from `bison --version', and a complete, self-contained
21 test case in each bug report.

23 If you have questions about using Bison and the documentation does
24 not answer them, please send mail to <help-bison@gnu.org>.
