README-cvs

   1 These notes intend to help people working on the CVS versions of
   2 Bison.  Only the sources are installed in the CVS repository (to ease
   3 the maintenance, merges etc.), therefore you will have to the
   4 maintainer tools we depend upon:
   5
   6 - Automake 1.6 or 1.6.1
   7 - Autoconf 2.53a or better
   8   ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.53a.tar.gz   (992 kB)
   9   ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.53a.tar.bz2  (756 kB)
  10 - Gettext 0.11.3
  11
  12 Only building the initial full source tree will be a bit painful,
  13 later, a plain `cvs update -P & make' should be sufficient.
  14
  15 * First CVS checkout
  16
  17 Obviously, if you are reading these notes, you did manage to check out
  18 Bison from CVS.  For the records, you will find all the relevant
  19 information on:
  20
  21         http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group_id=56
  22
  23 The next step is asking the installation of all the missing files:
  24
  25         $ ./bootstrap
  26
  27 And there you are!  Just
  28
  29         $ ./configure && make && make check
  30
  31 At this point, there should be no difference between your local copy,
  32 and the CVS master copy:
  33
  34         $ cvs diff
  35
  36 should output no difference, except maybe the date in po/*.po files.
  37
  38 Enjoy!
