  1. This package contains the GNU Bison parser generator.
  2. * Installation
  3. ** Build
  4. See the file INSTALL for generic compilation and installation
  5. instructions.
  6. Bison requires GNU m4 1.4.6 or later. See:
  7. ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/m4-1.4.6.tar.gz
  8. ** Internationalization
  9. Bison supports two catalogues: one for Bison itself (i.e., for the
  10. maintainer-side parser generation), and one for the generated parsers
  11. (i.e., for the user-side parser execution). The requirements between
  12. both differ: bison needs ngettext, the generated parsers do not. To
  13. simplify the build system, neither are installed if ngettext is not
  14. supported, even if generated parsers could have been localized. See
  15. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2009-08/msg00006.html for
  16. more details.
  17. * Questions
  18. See the section FAQ in the documentation (doc/bison.info) for
  19. frequently asked questions. The documentation is also available in
  20. PDF and HTML, provided you have a recent version of Texinfo installed:
  21. run "make pdf" or "make html".
  22. If you have questions about using Bison and the documentation does
  23. not answer them, please send mail to <help-bison@gnu.org>.
  24. * Bug reports
  25. Please send bug reports to <bug-bison@gnu.org>. Please include the
  26. version number from 'bison --version', and a complete, self-contained
  27. test case in each bug report.
  28. * Copyright statements
  29. For any copyright year range specified as YYYY-ZZZZ in this package,
  30. note that the range specifies every single year in that closed interval.
