Download the bin package at 
http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/bison-1.875.0-2003.02.10-1.exe?download
and use it. You do not need to compile bison yourself.

Did You actually succeed to make output from postgresql yacc definition files 
with that package ? Can  You explain how?

	I forgot to mention that I succeed to make that output, but only from shell, 
not from makefile. Maybe there is something wrong with my MinGW setup ?
However  I do not like Idea that people might give up MinGW bison only because 
I misinformed the group.

Re: Vote:  Adding flex/bison derived files in WIN32_DEV

After installing the following into my msys/mingw set:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/bison-1.875.0-2003.02.10-1.exe?download
and http://www.cs.colorado.edu/~main/mingw32/flex-2_5_4a.zip (Not sure if
this was needed, but I did it anyway) and then running
"configure --without-zlib --without-readline", I  was able to "make" the
branch right through to the stage where it fails to link because of missing
fork/signmask/etc. Bison ran just fine, apparently.

If you do this make sure you install everything in default locations - the
bison binary has a hardcoded location for m4 (yuck).

cheers
