Please remember that Harbour does not need bison for compilation so you do not have to include it. It's necessary only for developers who want to create new Harbour grammar rules. AFAIK only few persons here tried to ever make any modifications in grammar files. > Before I go in this direction I need to know > I am not violating MinGW licensing by packaging > it into a Harbour distribution. It should not cause any problems but MinGW has automatic installer which also can make updates. IMHO attaching such installer with small instruction: "confirm default settings" to Harbour compiler configured to use with default MinGW paths should be enough. best regards, Przemek _______________________________________________ Harbour mailing list [email protected] http://lists.harbour-project.org/mailman/listinfo/harbour
