As of this writing, the latest stable version of Gzip is 1.2.4 but we

suggest using test version 1.3.5 (or later, if one becomes available).

Valgrind <http://valgrind.org/> is also highly recommended, if

Valgrind supports your architecture.

Bison is written using Bison grammars, so there are bootstrapping
|
||||
issues. The bootstrap script attempts to discover when the C code
|
||||
generated from the grammars is out of date, and to bootstrap with an
|
||||
out-of-date version of the C code, but the process is not foolproof.
|
||||
Also, you may run into similar problems yourself if you modify Bison.
|
||||
|
||||
Only building the initial full source tree will be a bit painful,
|
||||
later, a plain `cvs update -P & make' should be sufficient.

Unfortunately the current Gettext still does not include all the

needed tools so that the bootstrapping always perform successfully.
|

|

If you experience problems, I suggest the following:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Do a regular CVS checkout
|
||||
|
||||
2. Fetch a recent tarball in:
|
||||
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/bison/
|
||||
|
||||
3. Extract it
|
||||
|
||||
4. Override the content of your checkout with the content of this
|
||||
tarball, i.e.:
|
||||
cp -r bison-1.875c/* bison-cvs
|
||||
|
||||
5. Proceed on ./configure && make etc.
