RE: ftpcmd.y -- syntax error

[Jacques Dejean]

Hello Tomas,

When I either remove the equal (=) sign or place it in quotes ('='), the
command "bison -y ftpcmd.y" runs without errors.

However, since I am running the command -- "rpm --rebuild
wu-ftpd-2.6.1.src.rpm", I don't have the opportunity to modify "ftpcmd.y"
before the build process fails.  

Do you have any suggestions on how to get around it?

Thanks for your input.

I guess the problem is in unexpected "="

I may be wrong, but I'm not aware of any "rule: rules|tokens = { code }"
syntax.

try

cmd_list:       /* empty */
        | cmd_list cmd
        {
                fromname = (char *) NULL;
                restart_point = 0;
        }

        | cmd_list rcmd
        ;
