Hi, I'm building a home-made "Linux-From-Scratch" (LFS) and when I tried to build bison, release 3.0.2, I got troubles with perl5 autoconf detection (no perl5 on my LFS) and a help2man (no help2man on my LFS) hardcoded in the compiling stage.
I did remove manualy the perl5 detection from the autoconf generated configure. I did remove manualy some man page generation parts from the Makefile.in. Then, bison configured, compiled and installed fine. regards, -- Sylvain BERTRAND P.S. tell me if you need the configure and Makefile.in patches in order to fix the configure.ac and Makefile.am
