Description Frederic Peters 2006-07-22 18:36:44 UTC 
See http://jhbuild.bxlug.be/builds/2006-07-21-0005/logs/gstreamer/#configure

Debian Sarge bison version is labelled '1.875d', the trailing 'd' makes the new
bison version check die.

A possible fix is to add `| tr -d '[:alpha:]` (common/m4/gst-parser.m4, line 12).
Comment 1 Elijah Newren 2006-07-23 02:01:57 UTC 
Same bug here, except that the version I have is '1.875c' (on RHEL4).

          Fix bison detection (#348354)
Comment 3 Frederic Peters 2006-07-23 21:53:41 UTC 
Oops, sorry about the wrong comment, brackets need to be doubled in M4 files,

bison_version=`$BISON_PATH --version | head -n 1 | sed 's/^.*) //' | tr -d '[[:alpha:]]' | cut -d' ' -f1`

        * m4/gst-parser.m4:
          Need to double square brackets in .m4 files. Should fix bison
          version detection with version numbers like 1.23a (#348354).
