byacc

[prev] [thread] [next] [lurker] [Date index for 2005/09/13]

In the perl makefiles, there's this rule somewhere :

check_byacc:
        @$(BYACC) -V 2>&1 | grep 'version 1\.8\.2'

So far so good. But on my system I've byacc 1.9 installed by default.
And recompiling a2p.y works fine with byacc 1.9 too. So I thought,
let's change this makefile so it allows byacc 1.9 too.

But you know what ? In 1.9 they've removed the -V option. Worse,
nothing else works: -v, -h, --version, --help,
--just-give-me-your-version-you-bloody-piece-of-junk, etc. Even worse,
strings(1) can't find the version of the binary.

Hate. You know what, I'll just use bison instead.
