Won't compile (ARM): main.c Error 141 y.tab.h

[AJ ONeal]

When I try to compile go it gets stuck at main.c with what appears to be a bison error.

I've tried the bison that comes with my distro (OpenEmbedded) and the one straight from GNU.

Am I doing something wrong or should I file a bug?

gcc (GCC) 4.3.3

m4 (GNU M4) 1.4.14

bison (GNU Bison) 2.4.3 (downloaded and compiled directly from gnu.org)

You might have bison++ installed instead of bison.

I have http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bison/bison-2.4.tar.gz

Where would you suggest that I get bison?

AJ,

On linux 386/amd64 and on windows 386 I have:

$ bison -V
bison (GNU Bison) 2.4.1

I haven't got as far as installing Go on my linux arm system.

i build the linux/arm port regularly. bison is 2.3

I don't know what's wrong with your bison, but it should not
be exiting with an error just because there are shift-reduce
conflicts:

$ cd $GOROOT/src/cmd/cc
$ bison -v -y -d cc.y
conflicts: 3 shift/reduce
$ echo $?
0

Skip, Russ,

The error appears to be with the go scripts. They aren't respecting my environment's search paths.

# which bison

/usr/local/bin/bison

# cd $GOROOT/src/cmd/cc

# bison -v -y -d cc.y

conflicts: 3 shift/reduce

# echo $?

0

# cd $GOROOT/src/cmd/cc

# /usr/bin/bison -v -y -d cc.y

conflicts: 3 shift/reduce

# echo $?

141

I'm going to try again by replacing /usr/bin/bison with /usr/local/bin/bison

I was able to compile my first GO program (the hello world on the front page)!

Thanks for your help.
