Dan, thanks.
this installation also seems to require bison. I tried to install it
manually as well as the winflexbison <https://github.com/lexxmark/
winflexbison>, but I still get an error
But I also understand that bison is optional?
No, it is not optional anymore. As I wrote in my previous message, bison
and flex are required to build from source. Keeping the preprocessed
files in the repository is a bit of a pain.
I don't do much development on Windows, and I never used winflexbison,
thus I haven't tested how that would work to build Beancount. However,
glancing at the project README, it seems that it installs executables
named win_flex and win_bison, not flex and bison. If this is the case,
of course Meson cannot find the programs it is looking for, unless the
Meson build definition would need to be adapted to look for the
alternative names too. Someone that cares about building from source on
Windows would need to put in some work to figure things out.
Cheers,
Dan
