In an attempt to simplify the build interface, parser generation, just
as other features that can be detected automatically, are enabled
whenever the required programs are available, in this case: bison
version 3.3.0 or later or flex version 2.6.4 or later.
You can search for lines such as these displayed on meson setup to
determine if these programs were found:
Program bison found: YES 3.8.2 3.8.2 (/sbin/bison)
Program flex found: YES 2.6.4 2.6.4 (/sbin/flex)
Or look in `build/config.report` for:
Flex: /sbin/flex
Bison: /sbin/bison
Additionally, if the programs were not found, and if as a result parser
generation is disabled, trying to generate parsers with "meson compile
parser" will simply display "Parser generation is disabled."
I hope this helps.
If you have suggestions about how this could be improved, you can open a
GitLab issue.

Dear Kea Developers,
I have recently upgraded Kea from version 2.6.2 to 3.0.0. In the
earlier version (2.6.2), there was a |--enable-generate-parser| option
available with the |configure| to enable the generation of parsers
during the build process.
However, I noticed that Kea 3.0.0 now uses the Meson build system
instead of Autotools, and I couldn't find an equivalent option for
|--enable-generate-parser| in the Meson configuration.
Could you please guide me on how to enable parser generation with
Meson in Kea 3.0.0? Is there a specific option or environment variable
I need to set during the Meson setup?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Dipesh Kayastha
