У меня нет yacc. Я когда wine компилю, появляется ошибка, что нет такой команды yacc...

6.13. Installing Bison-1.28

Estimated build time: 1 minute Estimated required disk space: 3 MB

6.13.1. Installation of Bison

Install Bison by running the following commands:

./configure --prefix=/usr \    --datadir=/usr/share/bison && make && make install

Some programs don't know about bison and try to find the yacc program (bison is a (better) alternative for yacc). So to please those few programs out there we'll create a yacc script that calls bison and have it emulate yacc's output file name conventions.

Create a new file /usr/bin/yacc by running the following:

cat > /usr/bin/yacc << "EOF" #!/bin/sh # Begin /usr/bin/yacc

exec /usr/bin/bison -y "$@"

# End /usr/bin/yacc EOF chmod 755 /usr/bin/yacc

6.13.2. Command explanations

--datadir=/usr/share/bison: This installs the bison grammar files in /usr/share/bison rather than /usr/share.

6.13.3. Contents

The Bison package contains the bison program.

6.13.4. Description

Bison is a parser generator, a replacement for YACC. YACC stands for Yet Another Compiler Compiler. What is Bison then? It is a program that generates a program that analyzes the structure of a text file. Instead of writing the actual program a user specifies how things should be connected and with those rules a program is constructed that analyzes the text file.

There are a lot of examples where structure is needed and one of them is the calculator.

Given the string :

1 + 2 * 3

A human can easily come to the result 7. Why? Because of the structure. Our brain knows how to interpret the string. The computer doesn't know that and Bison is a tool to help it understand by presenting the string in the following way to the compiler:

+ / \ * 1 / \ 2 3

Starting at the bottom of a tree and coming across the numbers 2 and 3 which are joined by the multiplication symbol, the computer multiplies 2 and 3. The result of that multiplication is remembered and the next thing that the computer sees is the result of 2*3 and the number 1 which are joined by the add symbol. Adding 1 to the previous result makes 7. In calculating the most complex calculations can be broken down in this tree format and the computer just starts at the bottom and works its way up to the top and comes with the correct answer. Of course, Bison isn't only used for calculators alone.
