Subject: mingw bison error when building gdb git source
Date: Sat, 04 Jun 2011 12:49:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4DEA2A05.5000903@gmail.com> (raw)

I have a question on building gdb under Msys+mingw

when I build gdb source from git (which I do a git clone from 
git://sourceware.org/git/gdb.git). I get an build error:

The message shows that bison under Msys does not works quite well.

But when I download the gdb snapshot from the ftp
ftp://sourceware.org/pub/gdb/snapshots/

I just unzip the snapshot, and use the same configure option, and the 
build stage works fine, and no such error.

So, I just think that when building the snapshot, we do not need bison.
In fact the file c-exp.c is built from c-exp.y.
In the snapshot of gdb, c-exp.y already exists.
But in the gdb git source, there are only c-exp.y, so bison is needed to 
build the associated c-exp.c.


So, my question is:
Can some bison exports help to solve this problem? it seems bison under 
Msys does not works quite well.

Or is it possible save the c-exp.c in the gdb repository, so that we 
don't need bison to build it.

thanks.
