I have problems getting the GNU tools to execute properly. I installed
bison, sed, and flex from gnuwin32.sourceforge.net as suggested in the
README. The installers for these packages did not want to put them in
the llvm/win32/{tools,share} directory, which is unfortunately where the
project files expect them to be. I copied the files manually to these
directories, but bison still refuses to work. I get:
..\tools\bison: m4: No such file or directory
m4.exe is present in the same directory as bison. I don't know where
bison expects to find it. I know where it would expect to find it on
Unix, but that directory does not exist on a Windows system. Yes, m4.exe
is in the path, but that's not good enough for bison. It's also present
where their installer put it; that's not good enough either.
Sigh... this is precisely why I hate using GNU software under Windows,
because gotchas like this keep happening. I suppose I can always build
my own binaries from the sources; that would solve the problem if
nothing else will... once I figure out how bison locates m4... but not
tonight.

Two suggestions: 1. m4 might be located by your PATH variable. 2. Talk to Morten Ofstad about how he got it to work. Reid.

Like I said, it is in my path. That's not enough. I'd be happy if Morten chimed in with any suggestions as to how he got it to work.
