# FWIW, the v2b26 package fetched at 10.Nov 1523 MST compiled cleanly on hp-ux 10.20, as delivered. (Thanks for the -Ae compiler flag, Kent.)
Good, it worked. I was wondering if it would get picked up. :) Great!
# There was one complaint, something I haven't seen before, and that I don't understand. Maybe somebody on the list recognizes it? In the string of calls to cc, I got:
#
# Expect 13 shift/reduce conflicts.
# yacc getdate.y
#
# conflicts: 13 shift/reduce
# cc -c -Ae getdate.c
This is due to the yacc grammer in getdate.y. In earlier versions we did
not have any yacc parsing required. With the addition of getdate.y we do.
I put the warning message
Expect 13 shift/reduce conflicts.
in when someone said there was problems with the build. This is normal.
The actual header in getdate.y states
/*
** Originally written by Steven M. Bellovin <smb@research.att.com> while
** at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Later tweaked by
** a couple of people on Usenet. Completely overhauled by Rich $alz
** <rsalz@bbn.com> and Jim Berets <jberets@bbn.com> in August, 1990;
**
-> ** This grammar has 13 shift/reduce conflicts.
**
** This code is in the public domain and has no copyright.
*/
This is not an error but normal output from the yacc parsing.
# Running a preliminary set of test messages shows everything working as expected.
Good!
Thanks Tom.
