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 localized programs that use the diagnostics contained in
  21 Bison-generated parsers.
  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 file
  31
  32       $prefix/share/locale/*/LC_MESSAGES/bison-runtime.mo
  33
  34 belongs to the bison-runtime package; all other installed files belong
  35 to the bison package.
