Bug 383477 – net-fs/autofs-5*: add virtual/yacc and sys-devel/flex to DEPEND

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description bay 2011-09-18 11:22:54 UTC]

Created attachment 286883 [details]
Build log.

Package net-fs/autofs doesn't builds without virtual/yacc and without sys-devel/flex packages.

The errors is:
if without flex: 
checking for flex... no
checking for lex... no
configure: error: required program LEX not found

if without virtual/yacc:
checking for flex... /usr/bin/flex
checking for bison... no
configure: error: required program YACC not found

Please add virtual/yacc to DEPEND and sys-devel/flex in DEPEND or in RDEPEND of virtual/yacc.

Thanks for the report.

I've check all autofs ebuilds in tree and all ebuild for autofs-5 lack these DEPENDS.
Peter, would you please add it at least to all stable versions of autofs-5 series.

Thanks,
Dustin

Thank you guys. Since we are going to remove previous versions I've added only into: autofs-5.0.5-r4.ebuild autofs-5.0.6-r2.ebuild. Fixed.

Peter, I re-open this bug as a reminder for you instead of sending you an email as requested on IRC.

This is excerpt from configure.in of any autofs-5 version in tree:
"""
[...]
#
# Programs needed for various system functions or modules
#
[...]
AF_CHECK_PROG(LEX, flex lex, , $searchpath)
AF_CHECK_PROG(YACC, bison, , $searchpath)
[...]
"""

We need to DEPEND on flex as well, I guess.

Fixed for real. Thank you!
