[ros-general] RE: [ros-dev] Must Read!!!! Msi.dll and Bison Alert!!!!

[Youness El Andaloussi]

FYI:

1) Bison is more or less bison on most versions I tested, even hacked 
versions I have seen are backward compatible...
2) once the bison grammar has been parsed and generated, it compiles 
anywhere without the need for bison, the "it adds another dependency" 
argument is not entirely valid unless you want to make changes to the 
grammar itself
3) once something that works exists, nothing the parser to be rewritten in 
c for optimisation
4) so what if it does not come with mingw... mingw does not come with 
windows either, and bison is much smaller of a download
5) Bison remains one of the most standard compiler tools.
