Created attachment 395234 [details] build.log bison cannot build without perl, it should have dev-lang/perl in DEPEND
the normal program does not need perl at build or runtime. making it a hard dependency would be really bad.
should be all set now in the tree; thanks for the report! Commit message: Make examples optional and fix perl dependency http://sources.gentoo.org/sys-devel/bison/bison-3.0.4-r1.ebuild?rev=1.1 http://sources.gentoo.org/sys-devel/bison/files/bison-3.0.4-optional-perl.patch?rev=1.1
The eautoreconf call doesn't work for me. It complains, ***** automake --add-missing --copy --force-missing configure.ac:44: error: require Automake 1.14, but have 1.13.4 I have automake 1.14 installed, adding WANT_AUTOMAKE=1.4 causes another set of errors to be logged, ***** aclocal -I m4 aclocal: configure.ac: 49: macro `AM_SILENT_RULES' not found in library aclocal: macro `_gl_DEFUN_ONCE([$1' required but not defined aclocal: macro `gl_MULTIARCH' required but not defined aclocal: macro `AM_PROG_MKDIR_P' required but not defined aclocal: macro `gl_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS' required but not defined aclocal: macro `gl_CHECK_SOCKET_HEADERS' required but not defined aclocal: macro `gl_SYS_IOCTL_H_DEFAULTS' required but not defined aclocal: macro `gl_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS' required but not defined aclocal: macro `gl_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS' required but not defined aclocal: macro `gl_SNPRINTF_RETVAL_C99' required but not defined aclocal: macro `gl_PREREQ_VASNPRINTF_LONG_DOUBLE' required but not defined aclocal: macro `gl_PREREQ_VASNPRINTF' required but not defined aclocal: macro `gl_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS' required but not defined aclocal: macro `gl_ICONV_H_DEFAULTS' required but not defined aclocal: macro `AM_PROG_MKDIR_P' required but not defined aclocal: macro `gl_INTTYPES_INCOMPLETE' required but not defined aclocal: macro `gl_STDINT_H' required but not defined aclocal: macro `gl_MULTIARCH' required but not defined aclocal: macro `gl_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS' required but not defined aclocal: macro `gl_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS' required but not defined aclocal: macro `gl_HEADER_ERRNO_H' required but not defined aclocal: macro `gl_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS' required but not defined aclocal: macro `gl_HEADER_ERRNO_H' required but not defined aclocal: macro `gl_HEADER_ERRNO_H' required but not defined aclocal: macro `gl_LIBUNISTRING' required but not defined aclocal: macro `gl_ENVIRON' required but not defined aclocal: macro `gl_ENVIRON' required but not defined aclocal: macro `AM_PROG_CC_C_O' required but not defined aclocal: macro `gl_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS' required but not defined aclocal: macro `gl_HEADER_ERRNO_H' required but not defined
I don't know how I made the same typo three times without noticing... Setting WANT_AUTOMAKE=1.14 makes it work as expected :).
(In reply to SpanKY from comment #2) As we have bison in stage2 of Prefix bootstrap, could you use a self-contained patch instead of eautoreconf please?
Created attachment 400974 [details, diff] self-contained patch for optional examples needing perl bison-3.0.4 ships with automake-1.15 already, patch is based on that one.
Created attachment 402096 [details, diff] better patch the generated files only Besides autotools-output, patching autotools-input as well may trigger running autotools during make - better avoid that by patching the -output only.
(In reply to Mikael Magnusson from comment #3) that is bug 545610 (In reply to Michael Haubenwallner from comment #5) what is the exact list of packages that prefix needs to boostrap with ? this list needs to be explicitly documented & noted in the tree, as well as agreed upon by the maintainers of said packages. (In reply to Michael Haubenwallner from comment #7) you stripped out all the metadata in the header that must be in all patches

And to avoid the need for help2man after patching: src_prepare() { epatch "${FILESDIR}"/${P}-optional-perl-gen.patch #538300 + touch doc/bison.1 #548778 }
should be all set now in the tree; thanks for the report! Commit message: Patch generated autotools to avoid breaking prefix bootstrap http://sources.gentoo.org/sys-devel/bison/bison-3.0.4-r1.ebuild?r1=1.2&r2=1.3 http://sources.gentoo.org/sys-devel/bison/files/bison-3.0.4-optional-perl.patch?r1=1.1&r2=1.2
Thanks a lot! (In reply to SpanKY from comment #11) > http://sources.gentoo.org/sys-devel/bison/files/bison-3.0.4-optional-perl. > patch?r1=1.1&r2=1.2 One side note: Not commenting out the unused @@ (hunk starter) lines as well requires GNU patch 2.6 or later, while prefix bootstrap did check for no particular version of GNU patch until now. Let's see if 2.7.x works on OSX 10.6.x now: http://sourceforge.net/p/gentooprefixtree/code/ci/0fb0b39d929f826b5f0390fed8887b965ced787d
*** Bug 571492 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
i've backported some of the simple stuff to the 2.7.1 ebuild: http://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=098bb0ab0f88679edefd7516d9697c46e289d558 but if it still fails, well we'll just wait for 3.0.4-r1 to go stable
