> WTF is bison? And why do I need it to compile the snapshot?
(1) bison is the GNU replacement for yacc.
(2) I made a mistake in migrating java; the current egcs
(and future snapshots) should have things fixed that the
cvs repository again includes the bison-generated parse.c
(and thus you should you no longer need bison).
(3) However, it is likely that at somepoint we will no longer
include bison-generated files in the cvs tree. In that case,
if you want to build from the cvs sources, you will need
bison. However, actual *release* (and snapshot) *tar* files
will still include the bison-generated files.
(4) In any case, you might want to remove or not build the java
stuff; without a run-time (coming soon!), it won't do you much good.
