Packaging hints for binary package distributors
===============================================
Although the source of the bison package comes as a single package,
in distributions of binary packages the installed files should
be split into two packages:
bison-runtime
Contents: Runtime libraries and programs.
Audience: Anyone who wants to run internationalized programs
that contain Bison-generated parsers.
bison
Contents: Tools and documentation for developers that use Bison.
Audience: Anyone who wants to develop programs that use parsers.
Dependencies: requires bison-runtime.
The 'bison-runtime' binary package is much smaller than the 'bison'
binary package. It should be included in any distribution that
contains programs that use the diagnostics contained in
Bison-generated parsers, e.g., Gawk, GCC, Perl.
If you want to install both packages at the same time, you simply do
at the toplevel directory:
./configure
make
make install
After installation, the files
$prefix/share/locale/*/LC_MESSAGES/bison-runtime.mo
belong to the bison-runtime package; all other installed files belong
to in the bison package.
