Re: (IMPORTANT/URGENT) Regarding Missing Files in bash source code?

[Humanities Clinic]

Ok noted.

By the way, I do have another related problem. Can you help me with it?

When I run make (I run it with the -i option), I see the following
output for the first invoked command:

bison -y -d ./parse.y

./parse.y: warning: 1 shift/reduce conflict [-Wconflicts-sr]

bison: /usr/local/Cellar/bison/3.3.2/share/bison/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4: cannot
open: No such file or directory

make: [y.tab.c] Error 1 (ignored)
May I know what does the last line mean? I understand from
https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Error-Messages.html that
it means that invoking y.tab.c returned an error code of 1. The thing is,
there's no command that involves the file y.tab.c? I don't really
understand how y.tab.c came into the picture.

Chai
