From: rpj AT ise DOT canberra DOT edu DOT au (Ross Johnson) Subject: Bison: bison.{simple,hairy} path hardwired in B19.1? 2 May 1998 04:27:45 -0700 Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII To: "gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com" Hi all, I'm new to cygwin but have scanned the FAQ and list archives for background on this problem without success. I thought I'd let you know about this problem before I grab the bison sources and recompile them. The problem, that I could find no way around, is that bison looks in /cygwin/shared for bison.simple irrespective of where CYGROOT points. I tried setting up a symlink using (I think) "ls -s $CYGROOT /cygwin" but the link didn't work (I may need to retry this to make sure I got it right). In any case I'd rather not rely on creating links since that makes migrating around on different machines unneccessarily cumbersome. Then I found out what a hack NT "shortcuts" are and that didn't work either. They're just linkname.lnk files that I assume contain the alternate path as a string. After using my Linux box to generate my .[ch] parser files and fixing one more minor incompatibility (that I'll describe under a new heading - for archive scanning purposes), my application built successfully. Many thanks.
