Build failure: can't read libinterp/corefcn/oct-tex-parser.cc-t: No such file or directory

[Andrew Janke]

Hi, Octave folks,

I'm getting build failures when attempting to build either stable or 
default. Builds using these same build scripts used to work; I don't 
know what's changed.

Here's the error from make:

rm -f libinterp/corefcn/oct-tex-parser.cc-t

    /bin/sh ./build-aux/ylwrap libinterp/corefcn/oct-tex-parser.yy

Happens whether I'm running multiple jobs with "make -j 8" or a single job.

configure is complaining about not finding bison, even though I have it 
installed (GNU bison 3.3.1) and on the $PATH:


configure: WARNING:

I didn't find bison, or the version of bison that I found does not
support all the features that are required, but it's only a problem
if you need to reconstruct parse.cc, which is the case if you're
building from VCS sources.

$ bison --version

Anybody know what's going on here and how to fix it?


Cheers,
Andrew
