Thanks Hans, So ... Msys builds Windows executables And ... I have to specify Windows-style directory names? Notice the "mixed message" that I got .... executable in C:\Msys .... and missing file in the style of the Msys shell. I should have mentioned, that this works perfectly on cygwin. I'm now trying to build the cygwin sources on Msys and cygwin to see if I can get a working pgm. Note also, that bison was initially installed from the binary distro ... I didn't build it ... it just didn't work. _______________________________________________ help-bison@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-bison
