RE: bugs found on bison/m4 on windows

[Kees Dekker]

Hi,

As far as I could see, the port downloaded from sourceforge.net is not done
with cygwin (I just did it myself). Please forget that I worked with cygwin.
I will submit a bug report to the sourceforge guys. Thanks for your
suggestion.

Regards,
Kees

When you go to http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/, there are "Bugs" and
"Contact" sections in the left narrow column.

But I wouldn't combine two Windows ports together. Why not just stick
with Cygwin?

There must be a way to open file in textmode under cygwin, I guess that 
the O_TEXT flag should work.  Try to search the docs on cygwin.com, for more
info.

Good luck,
