Message-Id: <200109121757.NAA27738@delorie.com> From: "Juan Manuel Guerrero" Organization: Darmstadt University of Technology To: djgpp-announce AT delorie DOT com Date: Wed, 12 Sep 2001 19:56:18 +0200 Subject: ANNOUNCE: DJGPP port of GNU Bison 1.29 uploaded Reply-To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com This is a port of GNU Bison 1.29 to MSDOS/DJGPP. DJGPP specific changes. ======================= The DJGPP port of Bison offers LFN and SFN support depending on which OS it is running. If LFN support is available or not is determinated at run time. If LFN support is available (DOS session under Win9X), the standard posix file name extensions will be used. These are: y.tab.c, y.tab.c++, y.tab.h, y.output, etc. If only SFN support is available (plain DOS), then the standard MSDOS short file names will be used. These are: y_tab.c, y_tab.h, y.out, etc. It must be noticed that starting with Bison 1.29, the parser files, bison.simple and bison.hairy, are installed into %DJDIR%/share/bison. This is different from all previous versions and ports of Bison. Due to this, you **MUST** delete the following lines: [bison] BISON_HAIRY=%DJDIR%/lib/bison.hai BISON_SIMPLE=%DJDIR%/lib/bison.sim from your djgpp.env. These lines set the BISON_SIMPLE and BISON_HAIRY environment variables to point to obsolete parser files. This must be avoided by deleting those entries from the djgpp.env file. For futher information about GNU bison please read the info docs. The port consists of two packages that can be downloaded from simtel.net and mirrors as: Bison 1.29 binary, info and man format documentation: http://www.simtel.net/gnudlpage.php?product=/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/bsn129b.zip&name=bsn129b.zip Bison 1.29 source: http://www.simtel.net/gnudlpage.php?product=/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/bsn129s.zip&name=bsn129s.zip Send GNU bison specific bug reports to .
