When building gobject-introspection, econf fails without bison installed: checking lex library... -lfl checking whether yytext is a pointer... yes checking for bison... no configure: error: bison not found but required After installing bison, the build succeeds. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Do not have bison installed 2. emerge gobject-introspection 3. Profit!
Fixed. Not sure why gnome@ wasn't able to beat me to it.

(In reply to comment #1) > Fixed. Not sure why gnome@ wasn't able to beat me to it. But I think it should DEPEND on virtual/yacc, can you check if it would be possible (I cannot test it just now :() Thanks again

I'm not going to bother to do it. Feel free to close or reassign the bug.
Yeah, just checked it doesn't work with plain yacc :( (maybe the virtual should be dropped if there are a lot of packages not working with dev-util/yacc)
Original solution is ok then
