I solved this by a silly touching of all files (before calling configure). This would do: find . -type f | xargs touch -t `date +%Y%m%d%H%M` Wouter Sieburgh -----Original Message----- From: help-bison-bounces+wouter.sieburgh=oclc.org <at> gnu.org [mailto:help-bison-bounces+wouter.sieburgh=oclc.org <at> gnu.org] On Behalf Of Timothy Madden Sent: Wednesday, October 13, 2010 2:34 PM To: help-bison <at> gnu.org Subject: bison-2.3 build error: src/bison not found Hello I am trying to build bison-2.3 on a CentOS 5.5 machine, and in some cases (not always and not on all branches of my project, which uses bison) I get this error from the make step: ...

I do not really understand the automake rules in the .am files in bison-2.3 distribution. Can anyone please help ? What am I doing wrong ? Indeed, it worked ! Thank you very, very much ! Timothy Madden ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have the same problem as Timothy Madden, but i build bison on AIX 5.3, and already touch all files in bison directory, and then ./configure, make. The problem not disappear. Can anyone give me some help ? _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-bison
