Bug 375793 – media-libs/mesa-7.11_rc2 needs to DEPEND on flex, bison

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Albert W. Hopkins 2011-07-20 19:26:08 UTC]

sys-devel/flex was recently removed from the system set.  As a result, if flex is not already installed, mesa dies in src_configure:

[...]

checking for python2... python2
checking for makedepend... /usr/bin/makedepend
checking for sed... /bin/sed
checking for flex... no
configure: error: flex is needed to build Mesa

Ditto for sys-devel/bison

Thanks. flex and bison were recently removed from the @system set, so that's probably why we didn't notice before.

Fixed, Thanks!
