- Information file for Macintosh changes:
This archive includes full original source and the Think C 5 project
needed to build Bison 1.18. It also includes a precompiled application,
ready to roll. Please see the COPYING file for details about what
you are allowed to do to the code, and other licensing information.
This port runs under MacOS by itself. There is a MPW port available
already at ftp sites, but *this* port does not need MPW.
There were several changes to the code; all were minor and easily done.
I made all previous K&R-style variable argument function use *real*
variable arguments; I feel this was one major update needed, rather
than some K&R *hack*. Otherwise, the only other changes were simply
using Think C's routines in place of traditional UNIX calls ( fixing
mktemp() to tmpnam(), etc.).
In the Think C project, there are two libraries I need to say something
about: UNIX_4byte and ANSI_4byte. These are the standard ANSI and
UNIX libraries, but compiled with 4-byte integers. Make copies of your
existing UNIX and ANSI libraries, then recompile them with 4-byte ints.
To use this, copy the Bison 1.18 application and the bison parser
skeletons (bison.simple and bison.hairy) to their final destination
(put them in your development tools directory, if you keep things
organized like that -- I do). Anyway, the application and its skeleton
files *must* be in the same directory, wherever it is.
I'm glad I could do this; enjoy!
