demyn -> bison on SUA (Feb. 3, '06, 1:59:11 PM)
Hi ... bison built for 3.5 fails on SUA: bash-3.00$ bison -d scan.y Broken pipe bash-3.00$ I've tried a couple different .y files with the same result. Is this part of a larger compatibility issue? Is there a 5.2 download available? Should I try building bison from source? Thanks, Demyn

Rodney -> RE: bison on SUA (Feb. 6, '06, 2:55:47 AM)
I see that you are running bash so you must have the fixed utility download from MS (a fix to the libc 3.5 shared library on 5.2/SUA). So that's good. Right now everything is available as the 3.5 builds for 5.2. Most have shown themselves to be working fine in "3.5 backward compatability mode". What the specific problem is that you've hit I don't know (you're the first to report it). Is it just when you specify the '-d' option that you get "Broken Pipe"? There's nothing tricky about building bison. Just a straight "./configure" should do it. Bison hasn't changed in several years. So it's been stable.

It's not the -d option.
I'm trying to build bison from source. ./configure fails -- does this look familiar?
-- thanks in advance, Demyn

Hi demyn I didn't have any problems building bison-2.1 (latest from ftp.gnu.org) with gcc. I built GNU make, GNU m4 and flex first though (no /tools 3.5 at all). However, bison built with cc fails in the "synclines" tests (all 5). Why not try to build in the Korn shell? Have you updated the config.guess and config.sub files from GNU config (latest is 2006-01-29)? > I see that you are running bash so you must have the fixed utility download > from MS (a fix to the libc 3.5 shared library on 5.2/SUA). So that's good. ?? What's this? You mean the latest SDK from 2006-01-09? best regards Jerker Bäck

Rodney -> RE: bison on SUA (Feb. 7, '06, 10:39:18 PM)
Demyn it appears that you have not installed the "Interix SDK" _and_ the "Interix GNU SDK". You need to have both installed. Then the configure script will find gcc and use it instead. To do this just restart the install and you can choose to add just these components without a full re-installation. You can choose to built bison 2.1 or you can built 1.875 with a new "config.guess" file. You can grab a new config.guess from the /Tools ftp site in "/pub". > ?? What's this? You mean the latest SDK from 2006-01-09? Yes. Demyn is running on Interix 5.2 with the 3.5 bash package which uses the shared libraries. It loads the backward-compatable special 3.5 libc for 5.2.

## ------------------------------ ## ## All 104 tests were successful. ## ## ------------------------------ ## :) A new config.guess solved the ./configure problem. The one on ftp://ftp.interopsystems.com/pub/ did not work, but the one from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config/ did. bison built without incident, and the original "Broken Pipe" error from the 3.5 build of bison is gone! Rodney and Jerker, thank you for your suggestions. -- Demyn

jerker_back -> RE: bison on SUA (Feb. 8, '06, 3:06:49 PM)
What compiler did you use?

jerker_back -> RE: bison on SUA (Feb. 8, '06, 3:36:58 PM)
By the way, related to bison: Rodney, any advise about this? Interix have yacc in /bin bison installs a script yacc in /usr/local/bin like: #! /bin/sh exec /usr/local/bin/bison -y "$@" Which one to use? Should we disable one of them? Thanks jerker

demyn -> RE: bison on SUA (Feb. 8, '06, 3:49:55 PM)
./configure picked gcc. Also, I'm no yacc expert, but we do have some code that requires bison. - demyn

Rodney -> RE: bison on SUA (Feb. 8, '06, 5:22:10 PM)
> Which one to use? Should we disable one of them? I wouldn't disable one of them. I've always used the one in /bin or the /Tools yacc (same ancestory; the /Tools version goes into /usr/local/bin as well). I've not run into anything that needed anything else. Demyn writes that he has so it may depend on where you drive. For the most-part they both should be able to process and generate the code. But if you want to control it, use either the full path or the PATH settings.

jerker_back -> RE: bison on SUA (Feb. 8, '06, 7:01:19 PM)
OK, I just didn't want to have conflicting versions Strange things happens: I just build GNU sed (needed for GNU coreutils) and it said it used "GNU Bison version 1.28" and compiled the "bison.simple". How could this happen? I have bison-2.1 and bison.simple is renamed yacc.c (I think). This made me confused.
