Hi all,
I'm new to cygwin but have scanned the FAQ and list archives for
background on this problem without success. I thought I'd let you know
about this problem before I grab the bison sources and recompile them.
The problem, that I could find no way around, is that bison looks in
/cygwin/shared for bison.simple irrespective of where CYGROOT points.
I tried setting up a symlink using (I think) "ls -s $CYGROOT /cygwin" but
the link didn't work (I may need to retry this to make sure I got it
right). In any case I'd rather not rely on creating links since that makes
migrating around on different machines unneccessarily cumbersome. Then I
found out what a hack NT "shortcuts" are and that didn't work either.
They're just linkname.lnk files that I assume contain the alternate path
as a string.
After using my Linux box to generate my .[ch] parser files and fixing one
more minor incompatibility (that I'll describe under a new heading - for
archive scanning purposes), my application built successfully.
Many thanks.
Ross
