1 This package contains the GNU Bison parser generator. 2 3 * Installation 4 ** Build 5 See the file INSTALL for generic compilation and installation 6 instructions. 7 8 Bison requires GNU m4 1.4.6 or later. See: 9 10 ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/m4-1.4.6.tar.gz 11 12 ** Internationalization 13 Bison supports two catalogues: one for Bison itself (i.e., for the 14 maintainer-side parser generation), and one for the generated parsers 15 (i.e., for the user-side parser execution). The requirements between 16 both differ: bison needs ngettext, the generated parsers do not. To 17 simplify the build system, neither are installed if ngettext is not 18 supported, even if generated parsers could have been localized. See 19 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2009-08/msg00006.html for 20 more details. 21 22 * Questions 23 See the section FAQ in the documentation (doc/bison.info) for 24 frequently asked questions. The documentation is also available in 25 PDF and HTML, provided you have a recent version of Texinfo installed: 26 run "make pdf" or "make html". 27 28 If you have questions about using Bison and the documentation does 29 not answer them, please send mail to <help-bison (a] gnu.org>. 30 31 * Bug reports 32 Please send bug reports to <bug-bison (a] gnu.org>. Please include the 33 version number from `bison --version', and a complete, self-contained 34 test case in each bug report. 35 36 * Copyright statements 37 For any copyright year range specified as YYYY-ZZZZ in this package, 38 note that the range specifies every single year in that closed interval. 39 40 41 Local Variables: 42 mode: outline 43 End: 44 45 ----- 46 47 Copyright (C) 1992, 1998-1999, 2003-2005, 2008-2012 Free Software 48 Foundation, Inc. 49 50 This file is part of Bison, the GNU Compiler Compiler. 51 52 This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify 53 it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by 54 the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or 55 (at your option) any later version. 56 57 This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, 58 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of 59 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
