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. 36 37 ----- 38 39 Copyright (C) 2002, 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 40 41 This file is part of Bison, the GNU Compiler Compiler. 42 43 Bison is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify 44 it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by 45 the Free Software Foundation; either version 2, or (at your option) 46 any later version. 47 48 Bison is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, 49 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of 50 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
