[Bug other/21350] New: configure reports only a warning when bison is not installed

[peter dot pirkelbauer at tamu dot edu]

when bison is not installed, configure reports only a warning, instead of an error.

Consequently, the following make-command fails.

-- 
           Summary: configure reports only a warning when bison is not
                    installed

Are you building from the source tarball or from CVS?
If from the source tarball, you don't need bison which is why it is just a warning.
Otherwise this is a bug in the release process if bison is now required (and a regression).
What is the current error you are getting building GCC?

The problem as I was able to reproduce on Peter's machine yesterday is
the following: gcc-core from release repository does not seem to
contain w pregenerated c-parse.c.  At build time, the build machiery
attempts to generate it from c-parse.in and was looking for bison
which Peter did not have. For some reasons the build did not stop for
clear and unambiguous reason, (and even sooner aat configure time).  

If we now require bison for gcc-core, then we should check that at
configure time and abort.

Ok, we don't require bison at least before, sounds like the release package is messed up.

I don't understand this PR.

Here is evidence that c-parse.c is in fact included:

$ tar tjf gcc-core-4.0.1-20050616.tar.bz2 | grep c-parse
gcc-4.0.1-20050616/gcc/c-parse.in
gcc-4.0.1-20050616/gcc/c-parse.y
gcc-4.0.1-20050616/gcc/c-parse.c

Andrew, are you sure that c-parse.c is not present?

There's nothing that suggests that we can reproduce this bug, so I've closed it.
