I would think that adding it to the Host Requirements page would be slightly preferable. Here's my thinking: We already have bison as a host req. Bison depends on m4, so most distros I know will have m4 installed as a dependency of bison. Even building bison from source requires that you first build m4, anyway. So I tend to think of Bison and M4 going hand in hand. Why add an extra thing to build if by far the majority of systems will have already had m4 installed due to the bison req? -- JH -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
