Modules\ssl Query
Greetings All and best wishes for the New Year.
Trying a build of the mod_ssl in Apache 2.1 head for NetWare on a Winbox
(practice mostly) and find there are two files with 'odd' extensions:
ssl_expr_parse.y
ssl_expr_scan.l
both of which seem to be supplied from www.openssl.org, whose site does
not show support for Apache 2.
When I try to build using the NWGNUmakefile in the directory, 'make'
wants to run yacc against ssl_expr_parse.y, which, of course, fails.
Even more strangely, if I remove these two files from the directory, the
build goes through to completion and I get mod_ssl.nlm at the end.
Anyone able to elaborate on what these two files are for and wether or
not I really do need to install yacc?
TIA
Norm

Uhm, no - they are part of mod_ssl.

Looks like you have a timestamp problem then - because they shouldn't
need to be rebuilt. The release script takes care of fixing those for
httpd releases - and you could do the same by making sure that the date
is more recent on the output files.

You don't need to rebuild those files, so no need for yacc and friends.

Greetings,
Thanks for the feedback from you both.
Something of a simpleton where this stuff is concerned so will go away
to sit in a corner to ponder the answers. :-)
Will follow where your chain leads and hope there isn't a dog on the end.
Thanks again,
Norm

Nooooo... you want files generated from these sources.

Seriously?!? bison is much better support and available.

No, bison /y will do it. Grab this toolchain;
