Re: I got an error using Bison

[Philip Herron]

Hey

I am not sure if this will work since i don't have access to windows
at home, but i remember some people have good success using cygwin to
do this kind of work in, instead of trying to make the single program
work with windows which can be painful, due to the reasons you
mentioned.

http://www.cygwin.com/

Gives you a UNIX'y system to do work in, so the program installs a
kind of shell you can run and when your installing it you can choose
like loads of small unix'y bits and pieces to play with, and i am
pretty sure bison will be in there. Though i prefer to use automake to
handle my stuff or 'yacc -d' since most systems will alias bison with
a yacc equivalent.

Hope this works for you.
