Hello Federico! I am currently wondering why -M forces -R, too. A quick look into gpn.c didn't solve the question. Only the following entry shows us that it at least was needed: Changelog: Tue Jan 6 00:31:25 1998 Alessandro Rubini (rubini@amelia) * gpn.c (cmdline): -M forces -R (why didn't it?) * Makefile.in (YACC): Use autoconf to assign YACC Alessandro, why must it ?
