These notes intend to help people working on the CVS versions of
Bison.
* Requirements
Only the sources are installed in the CVS repository (to ease the
maintenance, merges etc.), therefore you will have to the maintainer
tools we depend upon:
- Automake 1.7
- Autoconf 2.54
- Gettext 0.11.5
Only building the initial full source tree will be a bit painful,
later, a plain `cvs update -P & make' should be sufficient.
* First CVS checkout
Obviously, if you are reading these notes, you did manage to check out
Bison from CVS. For the records, you will find all the relevant
information on:
http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group_id=56
The next step is asking the installation of all the missing files:
$ ./bootstrap
And there you are! Just
$ ./configure && make && make check
At this point, there should be no difference between your local copy,
and the CVS master copy:
$ cvs diff
should output no difference, except maybe the date in po/*.po files.
Enjoy!
* Troubleshooting
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:
http://www.lrde.epita.fr/~akim/download/
3. Extract it
4. Override the content of your checkout with the content of this
tarball, i.e.:
cp -r bison-1.49b/* bison-cvs
5. Proceed on ./configure && make etc.
