GNU Bison 1.18 for AmigaDOS
---------------------------
This kit by David Crooke: e-mail: dcc@dcs.ed.ac.uk
snail: 2 Main St., Carnock, Dunfermline, Fife, SCOTLAND KY12 9JQ
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
