<listitem><para>Recent versions of Bison and Flex to build the

parser. (This is because Nix needs GLR support in Bison and
|
||
reentrancy support in Flex.) For Bison, you need version 2.6, which
|
||
can be obtained from the <link
|
||
xlink:href="ftp://alpha.gnu.org/pub/gnu/bison">GNU FTP
|
||
server</link>. For Flex, you need version 2.5.35, which is
|
||
available on <link
|
||
xlink:href="http://lex.sourceforge.net/">SourceForge</link>.
|
||
Slightly older versions may also work, but ancient versions like the
|
||
ubiquitous 2.5.4a won't. Note that these are only required if you
|
||
modify the parser or when you are building from the Git
|
||
repository.</para></listitem>
