Re: bison problems when compiling under win32

Hmm, looks like Cygnus took this option away in newer versions :I [d:\projects]bison --help Usage: bison [-dhklntvyV] [-b file-prefix] [-o outfile] [-p name-prefix]

       [--debug] [--defines] [--fixed-output-files] [--no-lines]

       [--file-prefix=prefix] [--name-prefix=prefix]
       [-S simple_parser] [-H hairy_parser] [-L libdir]
       [--simple-parser=filename] [--hairy-parser=filename]
       [--library=dirname] [--output=outfile] grammar-file

Thanks for the reply, Zeev. I looked at the results produced by bison --help and both versions (the one included in win32build.zip on php.net/extras and the one included with the latest version of cygwin [it is bison 1.28]) and both spew out C:\cygwin\bin>bison --help Usage: bison [-dhklntvyV] [-b file-prefix] [-o outfile] [-p name-prefix]

Report bugs to bug-bison@gnu.org which doesn't say anything about a -S switch (GNU programs are supposed to display all possible switches in the help screen, aren't they?). Here's the output MSVC6 gives me, if it's of any use: --------------------Configuration: ZendTS - Win32 Release_TS-------------------- Performing Custom Build Step on ".\zend_language_parser.y" bison: invalid option -- S Usage: bison [-dhklntvyV] [-b file-prefix] [-o outfile] [-p name-prefix]

Report bugs to bug-bison@gnu.org (BTW, that's the other copy of bison I have - the copy that's packed in win32build.zip.) Any further help would be greatly appreciated.
