Re: [PHP-DEV] bison problems when compiling under win32 From: Toby Butzon (php-lists <email protected>)

Thanks for the reply, Zeev.

I looked at the results produced by bison --help and both versions (the one
included in win32build.zip on php.net/extras and the one included with the
latest version of cygwin [it is bison 1.28]) and both spew out

C:\cygwin\bin>bison --help
Usage: bison [-dhklntvyV] [-b file-prefix] [-o outfile] [-p name-prefix]
       [--debug] [--defines] [--fixed-output-files] [--no-lines]
       [--verbose] [--version] [--help] [--yacc]
       [--no-parser] [--token-table]
       [--file-prefix=prefix] [--name-prefix=prefix]
       [--output=outfile] grammar-file

which doesn't say anything about a -S switch (GNU programs are supposed to
display all possible switches in the help screen, aren't they?). Here's the
output MSVC6 gives me, if it's of any use:

--------------------Configuration: ZendTS - Win32
Release_TS--------------------
Performing Custom Build Step on ".\zend_language_parser.y"
bison: invalid option -- S
Usage: bison [-dhklntvyV] [-b file-prefix] [-o outfile] [-p name-prefix]
       [--debug] [--defines] [--fixed-output-files] [--no-lines]
       [--verbose] [--version] [--help] [--yacc]
       [--no-parser] [--token-table]
       [--file-prefix=prefix] [--name-prefix=prefix]
       [--output=outfile] grammar-file

(BTW, that's the other copy of bison I have - the copy that's packed in
win32build.zip.)

Any further help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks ;)
