Thanks. I tested it and it works well for my parsers. The only annoyances are the known autoblah problems: - The umask problem with installed directories (last time I said it's about $prefix/share/bison, but it's actually all installed directories including $prefix/bin etc. if they're newly created -- I hadn't noticed since they existed before on my system). But now I've read something about it and it seems to be a known, wontfix, problem. - Also well-known for a long time, but just to point out the ridiculousness of non-parallelizable configure (and to brag about my new CPU :) % time ./configure --prefix=/usr real 0m18,328s user 0m14,747s sys 0m2,915s % time make -j real 0m1,179s user 0m13,277s sys 0m1,684s Clearly, we're long past the point where configure takes longer than make -- by now we can actually say that build time is negligible in comparison to configure time, even for packages of quite some complexity such as Bison. But I know you can't do anything about it. Regards, Frank
