Compiling the Parser File
-------------------------
Here is how to compile and run the parser file:
# List files in current directory.
% ls
rpcalc.tab.c rpcalc.y
# Compile the Bison parser.
# `-lm' tells compiler to search math library for `pow'.
% cc rpcalc.tab.c -lm -o rpcalc
# List files again.
% ls
rpcalc rpcalc.tab.c rpcalc.y
The file `rpcalc' now contains the executable code. Here is an
example session using `rpcalc'.
% rpcalc
