Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-05-11 13:19:44 UTC 
The configure of your package checks for flex, even though your package might not contain .l files that flex uses to generate parsers. Your ebuild does not list a dependency on flex as per http://tinderbox.dev.gentoo.org/misc/dindex/sys-devel/flex .

Either disable the flex test during configure to avoid false positive, or add the dependency upon flex if it's needed by your package.

Thanks in advance,
Diego

Looks like it also needs bison as well. Diego, could you take a look at the configure [1] and file list [2] to confirm the proper deps for this package?

Should we add both flex and bison to DEPEND?

Thanks

Fixed in portage without a revbump.

Thanks
