I did make the lex rules much more explicit, replacing literals in the bison source with symbols from lex.

With the kde-cygwin setup.ini I got parse error, unexpected LEX_EOF, expecting PACKAGE_NAME or NL or AT I think this means you're using a new bison with a whizzy new default error handler. Or maybe it's been like this for a while, and I didn't notice because the prc-tools one errored out so early.

I didn't mean to improve the parse error feedback, but if I have, then cool. If it's got worse, please describe how and I'll see if I can rectify it. Rob

Re: new setup.exe crashes with kde's setup.ini
Guys, you should update the page http://kde-cygwin.sourceforge.net/kde2.php right now ! >http://us.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/kde-cygwin/setup.ini Works for me with online setup version (aka 2.249.2.4) ___ Do You Yahoo!? -- Une adresse @yahoo.fr gratuite et en français !

Yes. They've been screwed by the download mirror system Sourceforge introduced on 2002-05-03. As I wrote when I changed prc-tools's .htaccess to deal with this: Update the redirect to cope with Sourceforge's new download mirror system. You'd think they could have implemented that without breaking all the old URLs, but no... They need to tell people to use http://us.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/kde-cygwin/setup.ini (or similar) instead. That works fine in 2.249.2.4 but has a parse error in the 2.253 snapshot, perhaps because of the blank line at the end. (Hey, nice parse error message! That'll help if the bizarre parse error prc-tools's setup.ini was intermittently getting recurs.) John

Re: new setup.exe crashes with kde's setup.ini
AFAICT http://prdownloads.sf.net/kde-cygwin/setup.ini is not a valid setup.ini. It's a redirect page of some sort. It shouldn't crash setup, and setup-HEAD doesn't crash. You could try the setup available from http://www.cygwin.com/setup-snapshots.
