Bison build fails on ARM dev board

[Jeffrey Walton]

Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to build Bison 3.5.1 from sources on an ARM dev board. The
board does not have a lot of space, so I usually avoid building the
docs. In fact the doc tools like makeinfo or help2man are not
installed.

I'm invoking configure and make as follows because the doc tools are missing:

    ./configure \
        --prefix="/usr/local" \
        --with-libiconv-prefix="/usr/local" \
        --with-libintl-prefix="/usr/local" \
        --disable-doc

And:

    make MAKEINFO=true HELP2MAN=true

It is resulting in:

    sed: can't read doc/bison.1.tmp: No such file or directory
    mv: cannot stat `doc/bison.1.tmp': No such file or directory
    gmake[2]: *** [doc/bison.1] Error 1

How do I proceed?

Thanks in advance.
