Hi,
I'm trying to build gcc2.96 on a linux box (redhat with kernel 2.4.18-27.7.x) from the source provided by WindRiver and have run into a problem with the bison stage of the build.
Initially it was giving me errors missing semi-colons. I saw from various mailing list archives that this was a common error when building gcc pre-v3.0 using bison post-v1.34, so I installed bison v1.33.
Now bison will process the file, but finds a different number of shift/reduce conflicts than expected:
... cd ../../gcc/objc; \ bison -o objc-parse.c objc-parse.y objc-parse.y contains 72 shift/reduce conflicts. expected 66 shift/reduce conflicts make[1]: *** [../../gcc/objc/objc-parse.c] Error 1
Does anyone know what version of bison will give the right number?
Alternatively is there any other way to get past this? (I've tried commenting out the "%expect 66" line, but run into another error later on which I suspect is related to me bypassing this parsing issue)
Any help appreciated.
Cheers,
Iain
