ChangeLog: 2014-12-22 Will Newton * manual/install.texi: Document that we require bison 2.7 or above. * INSTALL: Regenerate. * configure.ac: Use AC_CHECK_PROG_VER instead of AC_PATH_PROG when checking for bison and check for version 2.7 or above. * configure: Regenerate. --- manual/install.texi | 9 +++++++++ 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+) (limited to 'manual') diff --git a/manual/install.texi b/manual/install.texi index 2b9b57ca32..d8dc3d58c9 100644 --- a/manual/install.texi +++ b/manual/install.texi @@ -448,6 +448,15 @@ and if you change any of the message translation files you will need GNU @code{gettext} 0.10.36 or later @end itemize +@noindent +If you wish to regenerate the @code{yacc} parser code in the @file{intl} +subdirectory you will need + +@itemize @bullet +@item +GNU @code{bison} 2.7 or later +@end itemize + @noindent You may also need these packages if you upgrade your source tree using patches, although we try to avoid this. -- cgit v1.2.3
