Sorry, I don't know.  I don't use Microsoft Windows.  But you can
build the files in question on some other host (GNU/Linux, say); you
don't need to build them on Microsoft Windows.

Thanks for reporting that.  It looks like the timestamp on parse-gram.c 
was about 1s earlier than that on parse-gram.y.  I'm not sure how this 
happened, but I fixed it.

comment about locations in data/yacc.c

Hi,

This may be nitpicking, but I suppose it's better to ask it, anyway:

In data/yacc.c:1021:

  /* Three stacks and their tools:
     `yyss': related to states,
     `yyvs': related to semantic values,
     `yyls': related to locations.

 ...

Shouldn't the comment about the locations stack be conditional to the
usage of locations (just as the declaration of the stack itself is)?

Would a patch to make it conditional be considered, or it doesn't worth
the effort?

Thanks, I installed this:

Or
     /* Three stacks and their tools:
      `yyss': related to states,
      `yyvs': related to semantic values,
      `yyls': related to locations (optional).
   ...

The problem with that approach is the same than with the previous one.
When inspecting the generated parser, you don't find that yyls stack at
all. Noting that it's optional doesn't necessarily makes the fact that
it wasn't generated more obvious.

I had in mind exactly what Paul committed.

Difficulty trying to build distribution from CVS sources

Hello,
I have checked out today's CVS head on my linux box to test if the DJGPP
port still works.
Here some parameters:
Linux localhost 2.6.18.8-0.5-default #1 Fri Jun 22 14:17:53 CEST 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.61
automake (GNU automake) 1.10
ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.5.24 (1.1220.2.455 2007/06/24 02:13:29)
coreutils 6.9
make 3.81
texinfo 4.11

Unfortunatly I was short on time so I have not followed this mailing list for
some months.  As usual I have tried to build a distribution by running
the command sequence:
  ./bootstrap
  ./configure
  make
  make check
  make dist
At a first glance all steps appeared to work except for the one to build
the dist target.  That target produces the following output:

  make: build-aux/git-version-gen: Kommando nicht gefunden   (command not found)
  INFO: rerunning autoconf for new version string: 
  cat: .prev-version: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden  (file or directory not found)
  /bin/sh ./config.status --recheck
  running CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/sh /bin/sh ./configure   --no-create --no-recursion
