Re: compiling bison-3.0 on AIX 5.3

[Michael Felt]

I must be missing something - do I need to do something besides ./configure
(I did "make distclean", then configure, then make V=1)

address@hidden:[/data/prj/gnu/bison-3.0]make V=1
        rm -f examples/extracted.stamp examples/extracted.stamp.tmp
        touch examples/extracted.stamp.tmp
        VERSION="3.0" /usr/bin/perl -f ./examples/extexi ./doc/bison.texi
-- examples/calc++/calc++-driver.cc
examples/calc++/calc++-driver.hh
examples/calc++/calc++-scanner.ll
examples/calc++/calc++.cc
examples/calc++/calc++-parser.yy
examples/mfcalc/calc.h                         examples/mfcalc/mfcalc.y
examples/rpcalc/rpcalc.y
Unrecognized switch: -f  (-h will show valid options).
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 255.


Stop.

with the following change in local.mk
   +25
   +26  doc = $(top_srcdir)/doc/bison.texi
   +27  extexi = $(top_srcdir)/examples/extexi
   +28  extract = VERSION="$(VERSION)" $(PERL) $(extexi) $(doc) --
   +29  extracted =
   +30  CLEANFILES += $(extracted) examples/extracted.stamp
   +31  examples/extracted.stamp: $(doc) $(extexi)
"examples/local.mk" The cursor is at line 28 of 43 --65%-- .
