These notes intend to help people working on the checked-out sources.
|
|
These requirements do not apply when building from a distribution tarball.
|
|
|
|
* Requirements
|
|
|
|
We've opted to keep only the highest-level sources in the repository.
|
|
This eases our maintenance burden, (fewer merges etc.), but imposes more
|
|
requirements on anyone wishing to build from the just-checked-out sources.
|
|
For example, you have to use the latest stable versions of the maintainer
|
|
tools we depend upon, including:
|
|
|
|
- Automake <http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/>
|
|
- Autoconf <http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/>
|
|
- Flex <http://www.gnu.org/software/flex/>
|
|
- Gettext <http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/>
|
|
- Gzip <http://www.gnu.org/software/gzip/>
|
|
- Tar <http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/>
|
|
- Wget <http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/>
|
|
|
|
Only building the initial full source tree will be a bit painful.
|
|
Later, after synchronizing from the repository a plain `make' should
|
|
be sufficient.
|
|
|
|
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generated from the grammars is out of date, and to bootstrap with an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out-of-date version of the C code, but the process is not foolproof.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.
|
|
|
|
* First checkout
|
|
|
|
Obviously, if you are reading these notes, you did manage to check out
|
|
Bison from the repository. For the record, you will find all the
|
|
relevant information on:
|
|
|
|
http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group_id=56
|
|
|
|
The next step is to get other files needed to build, which are
|
|
extracted from other source packages:
|
|
|
|
$ ./bootstrap
|
|
|
|
And there you are! Just
|
|
|
|
$ ./configure
|
|
$ make
|
|
$ make check
|
|
|
|
At this point, there should be no difference between your local copy,
|
|
and the master copy:
|
|
|
|
$ cvs diff
|
|
|
|
should output no difference.
|
|
|
|
Enjoy!
