(I've left the failure below, since Alain accidentally top-posted). But I'm not interested in rebuilding bison just so that it will pass its testsuite - the book says: "There is a circular dependency between bison and flex with regard to the checks. If desired, after installing flex in the next section, the bison checks can be run with make check." Should we not add that the calc++-scanner.cc test program *will* fail to compile because flex was not around when it was configured ? > 2017-08-17 22:15 GMT-04:00 Ken Moffat <[email protected]>: > > On Thu, Aug 17, 2017 at 05:29:29AM +0100, Ken Moffat wrote: > > > > 3.
