Q2. I'm having trouble using Bison. Where can I find help?
Q2. I can't build Bison because "make" complains that "msgfmt" is not
fund. What should I do?
A2. First, read the fine manual which comes with bison. Beyond that,
A2. Like most GNU packages with internationalization support, that
feature is turned on by default. If you have problems building
in the "po" subdirectory, it indicates that your system's
internationalization support is lacking. You can re-configure
Bison with "--disable-nls" to turn off this support, or you can
install GNU gettext from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gettext/ and
re-configure Bison. See the file "ABOUT-NLS" for more
information.

Q4. Will Bison ever have C++ support?
Q5. Will Bison ever have C++ support?
A4. Yes, it's in the works. I will need beta testers, however (and
people haven't exactly been lining up for the task). When this
feature is ready to be tested, it will be announced on the
bug-bison mailing list. If you're interested in testing C++
support when it becomes available, please consider subscribing to
the list, especially if you are willing to beta test other
releases as well.
