Description Frédéric Parrenin 2016-02-01 12:05:54 UTC 
gnumeric uses yacc during the compilation process, but it is not detected by the configure script.
Comment 1 Morten Welinder 2016-02-01 12:44:45 UTC 
We have this in configure.ac

    AC_PROG_YACC

That ought to do it.  More details, please.
Comment 2 Frédéric Parrenin 2016-02-01 16:04:35 UTC 
When I tried to compile gnumeric on debian 8, the configure script could run without problem. But then during the make process, it stopped saying that yacc was missing. Then I installed bison and everything went fine.
Comment 3 Frédéric Parrenin 2016-02-01 20:31:05 UTC 
Just checking: ./configure detects if bison is present, but does not make a strict requirement of its presence.
Comment 4 Morten Welinder 2016-02-01 21:44:01 UTC 
Done
