1This directory contains the Bison parser generator. 2 3See the file INSTALL for generic compilation and installation instructions. 4See the file doc/FAQ for frequently asked questions. 5 6Bison requires GNU m4 1.4.3 or later. See: 7 8ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/m4-1.4.3.tar.gz 9 10Bison can work with pre-1.4.3 distributions of GNU m4 if they are 11sufficiently patched, but if you encounter a bug with an older 12distribution and report a bug we will probably suggest that you 13upgrade to 1.4.3 as the first step in trying to fix it. 14 15Please send bug reports to <bug-bison@gnu.org>. Please include the 16version number from `bison --version', and a complete, self-contained 17test case in each bug report. 18 19If you have questions about using Bison and the documentation does 20not answer them, please send mail to <help-bison@gnu.org>. 21 22----- 23 24Copyright (C) 1992, 1998, 1999, 2003, 2004, 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 25 26This file is part of Bison, the GNU Compiler Compiler. 27 28Bison is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify 29it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by 30the Free Software Foundation; either version 2, or (at your option) 31any later version. 32 33Bison is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, 34but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of 35MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
