I cant compile bison

[Waqas Ilyas]

Hi,

I downloaded the bison (bison-1.875.tar.gz) and made a new project in the VS .NET. I then added all the source files in bison-1.875.\src and tried to compile it but it gave errors like “cant open include files ‘strings.h’ etc”. Then in the project properties, in C/C++ section I added the path bison-1.875\lib to “Additional Include directories”. It then compiles and gives an error at every inline function in the source file like:

e:\My Projects\VS .NET\Parser\Bison\src\lib\bitset.h(126) : error C2054: expected '(' to follow 'inline'

 

I am confused that why it is happening so. I would appreciate any help, specially if I can get already compiled executable of bison for Windows XP without getting into this fuss.

Thank you.
