After installing the following into my msys/mingw set: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/bison-1.875.0-2003.02.10-1.exe?download and http://www.cs.colorado.edu/~main/mingw32/flex-2_5_4a.zip (Not sure if this was needed, but I did it anyway) and then running "configure --without-zlib --without-readline", I was able to "make" the branch right through to the stage where it fails to link because of missing fork/signmask/etc. Bison ran just fine, apparently.
If you do this make sure you install everything in default locations - the bison binary has a hardcoded location for m4 (yuck). cheers andrew ----- Original Message ----- From: "Darko Prenosil" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > On Thursday 11 September 2003 18:08, Darko Prenosil wrote: > > On Thursday 11 September 2003 18:00, Zeugswetter Andreas SB SD wrote: > > > > > I'm confused.
