Notwithstanding the issues with (not) using GPLv3 tools at Apple (and probably other companies), in OpenBSD and NetBSD at least we want to be able to build X with the tools present in the base system. Bison and recent flex are only available as packages from the ports system, not in the base install. -- Matthieu Herrb _______________________________________________ xorg-devel@lists.x.org: X.Org development Archives: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
