1 This directory contains the Bison parser generator. 2 3 See the file INSTALL for generic compilation and installation instructions. 4 See the file doc/FAQ for frequently asked questions. 5 6 Bison requires GNU m4 1.4.3 or later. See: 7 8 ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/m4-1.4.3.tar.gz 9 10 Bison can work with pre-1.4.3 distributions of GNU m4 if they are 11 sufficiently patched, but if you encounter a bug with an older 12 distribution and report a bug we will probably suggest that you 13 upgrade to 1.4.3 as the first step in trying to fix it. 14 15 Please send bug reports to <bug-bison (a] gnu.org>. Please include the 16 version number from `bison --version', and a complete, self-contained 17 test case in each bug report. 18 19 If you have questions about using Bison and the documentation does 20 not answer them, please send mail to <help-bison (a] gnu.org>. 21 22 ----- 23 24 Copyright (C) 1992, 1998, 1999, 2003, 2004, 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 25 26 This file is part of Bison, the GNU Compiler Compiler. 27 28 Bison is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify 29 it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by 30 the Free Software Foundation; either version 2, or (at your option) 31 any later version. 32 33 Bison is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, 34 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of 35 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
