* package: make bison a relocatable packageAkim Demaille2018-12-251-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Suggested by David Barto https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-bison/2015-02/msg00004.html and Victor Zverovich. https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2018-10/msg00121.html This is very easy to do, thanks to work by Bruno Haible in gnulib. See "Supporting Relocation" in gnulib's documentation. * bootstrap.conf: We need relocatable-prog and relocatable-script (for yacc). * src/yacc.in: New. * configure.ac, src/local.mk: Instantiate it. * src/main.c, src/output.c (main, pkgdatadir): Use relocatable2. * doc/bison.texi (FAQ): Document it.

* build: lower gettext requirements.Akim Demaille2009-08-171-11/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bison was uselessly requiring the formatstring macros from gettext, which resulted in mo files not being installed on systems that perfectly supported Bison mo files. Lower the requirement. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2009-08/msg00006.html * configure.ac: Require need-ngettext instead of need-formatstring-macros. Reported by Martin Jabocs.

(Release Procedure): Update for git and add numerous details that were previously missing. * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove Makefile.cfg and Makefile.maint. * maint.mk (announcement): Don't list bison as a bootstrap tool so that announcements don't claim we bootstrapped with whatever bison happened to be in PATH. Add flex as a bootstrap tool. * Makefile.maint: Remove, previously replaced by maint.mk. * Makefile.cfg: Remove, and migrate settings to... * cfg.mk: ... here for the sake of `make announcement'. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add announce-gen. * README: Say GNU Bison instead of just Bison.
