Bison is a parser generator, a replacement for yacc. Bison generates a program that analyzes the structure of a text file.
Installed programs: bison and yacc
Installed library: liby.a
Bison depends on: Bash, Binutils, Coreutils, Diffutils, GCC, Gettext, Glibc, Grep, M4, Make, Sed.
First we use a patch to bison, backported from CVS, which fixes a minor compilation problem with some packages:
patch -Np1 -i ../bison-1.875-attribute.patch |
Prepare Bison for compilation:
./configure --prefix=/usr |
Compile the package:
make |
This package has a test suite available which can perform a number of checks to ensure it built correctly. Should you choose to run it, the following command will do so (and takes a long time):
make check |
And install the package:
make install |
