Hi

I was just trying to setup the build environment on my machine. I ran the
nmake -f makefile.nmake setup

but got this error message:
Checking for required applications:
        cl: /cygdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio/VC98/bin/cl
        link: /cygdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio/VC98/bin/link
        nmake: /cygdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio/VC98/bin/nmake

        bash: /usr/bin/bash

ERROR: Can't find bison

NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'bash' : return code '0x1'
Stop.


The 'bash: /usr/bin/bash' looks strange. I could not find any bash or
bison related settings in the Makefile. Is this error related to nmake
or the Makefile

You must install bison in cygwin, which is not installed by default.

Restart cygwin's setup.exe and select the other required packages as well:

   Archive/unzip
   Devel/bison
   Devel/flex
   Interpreters/perl
   Interpreters/python
   Web/wget
