Hi All, I see in the TODO list that you plan to have the tar ball creation script generate the file parsedate.cat.c so bison isn't required on every system.
I found the file parsedate.y to be a problem. I did have bison.simple on my Linux server and copied it over to my software development computer. Creating the correct directory (c:\usr\share\bison) for it put this single file external to the rest of my win32 development files, which seemed a bit unfortunate. In the end I was not able to grasp how to process parsedate.y with bison.simple. The bison script gave the same errors whether I ran it by itself or ran it with the cl parameter 'parsedate.y'. In the end, I got the file parsedate.cat.c from an earlier snapshot for 2.9b??. From the purpose of the code I figured an up-to-date version wasn't critical. Still, it would seem an up-to-date version should be used whenever possible. If someone would please email me this file, I'll be happy to substitute it for the one I have. Also, if you are trying to eliminate the need for bison, you need to do something with the #LINE lines of parsedate.cat.c. There are several referring to "/usr/share/bison/bison.simple". It won't compile if that file isn't present. There are also #LINES referring to parsedate.y. When compiling mix, with the project files in the Win32 directory of the mix source, it's necessary to move the file parsedate.y to the Win32 directory for the project to compile since it is referred to only as "parsedate.y", ie the current directory. My goal is helping you create code that doesn't need to be changed for win32 compiles. It is very nearly so anyway, but you may have other priorities. If so, you'll just have to let me know.
