3 These notes intend to help people working on the CVS versions of
4 Bison.
5
6 * Requirements
7
8 Only the sources are installed in the CVS repository (to ease the
9 maintenance, merges etc.), therefore you will have to the maintainer
10 tools we depend upon:
11
12 - Automake 1.6.3
13
14 - Autoconf 2.54
15
16 - Gettext 0.11.5
17
18 Only building the initial full source tree will be a bit painful,
19 later, a plain `cvs update -P & make' should be sufficient.
20
21 * First CVS checkout
22
23 Obviously, if you are reading these notes, you did manage to check out
24 Bison from CVS. For the records, you will find all the relevant
25 information on:
26
27 http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group_id=56
28
29 The next step is asking the installation of all the missing files:
30
31 $ ./bootstrap
32
33 And there you are! Just
34
35 $ ./configure && make && make check
36
37 At this point, there should be no difference between your local copy,
38 and the CVS master copy:
39
40 $ cvs diff
41
42 should output no difference, except maybe the date in po/*.po files.
43
44 Enjoy!
45
46 * Troubleshooting
47
48 Unfortunately the current Gettext still does not include all the
49 needed tools so that the bootstrapping always perform successfully.
50
51 If you experience problems, I suggest the following:
52
53 1. Do a regular CVS checkout
54
55 2. Fetch a recent tarball in:
56 http://www.lrde.epita.fr/~akim/download/
57
58 3. Extract it
59
60 4. Override the content of your checkout with the content of this
61 tarball, i.e.:
62 cp -r bison-1.49b/* bison-cvs
63
64 5. Proceed on ./configure && make etc.
