First we use a patch to bison, backported from CVS, which fixes a minor compilation problem with some packages:
patch -Np1 -i ../bison-1.875-attribute.patch |
Prepare Bison for compilation:
./configure --prefix=/usr |
Compile the package:
make |
This package has a test suite available which can perform a number of checks to ensure it built correctly. Should you choose to run it, the following command will do so:
make check |
And install the package:
make install |
