-
- This kit contains the GNU bison parser generator and its engine files. Bison is
- fully compatible with yacc, but better (coz it's free!!!!!!!!!!!!). This software
- is made available under the GNU General Public License, as outlined by the file
- "COPYING". Please read it now.
-
- If you don't know what the heck "parsers", "LALR" and "yacc" are, you don't need
- this software.
-
- This is simply Bison-1.18 compiled for AmigaDOS. I found an older version
- lying around on the net, but it was choking on a big grammar I was working
- on, so I got this version and compiled it. It is not an Amiga port in any
- way, it is a vanilla Unix version.
-
- Installation
- ------------
-
- 1. Obtain version 39 or higher of Markus Wild's ixemul.library, and place it
- in your LIBS: directory. Among other things, it comes with his gcc-2.3.3 kit.
-
- 2. Place the file "bison" somewhere where it can be found on your path.
-
- 3. Place "bison.simple" and "bison.hairy" in a directory, and add a line to
- your User-Startup (or whatever) of the form "assign Bison: <directory>"
-
- 4. To use it, the command "bison -y [yacc-options] mygrammar.y". The -y flag
- means "yacc compatibility".

- Have fun
