Ian,
please stay on the list for ongoing conversation ...
Yeah, still here...
Sorry! You meant put my replies on the list, I only just understood
you. I had no idea they weren't already.
I never understand why mail-lists don't use themselves as the reply-to
address...

1.875c behaves nicely to a ./configure and make but it then
crashes immediately when I give it my input script.
Just an idea: Since Cygwin compiles as Unix flavour, the original
source may not be prepared to read files with CRLF. Try to run it
from a binary mounted folder providing a file with LF endings only.
If I invoke bison indirectly:
bash -c /usr/bin/bison MyFile.y ...
Then it works, so I suspect it's more to do with invocation than CRLF.
What is the value of your CYGWIN enrironment variable?
I don't seem to have one. Should I have?
I've always just let the install program and scripts do as they wanted and
it's generally worked fine in the past.
As a general question, is there generally a lot of difference between
sources downloaded from GNU and one's acquired via cygwin?
Or can one mix
and match freely (bugs due to version differences notwithstanding)?
Changes for a package are normally documented in /usr/doc/Cygwin.
Aha! I'll look there immediately, thanks. Given the combination of
unix-style man pages and GNU-style info pages and windows-style *.hlp
pages and web-style *.htm pages, that's one location I wasn't even aware
of. Many thanks.
