Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66231&edit=1 ID: 66231 Updated by: stas@php.net Reported by: aharvey@php.net Summary: PHP 5.4 no longer builds with bison <= 2.3 -Status: Assigned +Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: Compile Failure Operating System: Irrelevant PHP Version: 5.4Git-2013-12-03 (Git) Assigned To: laruence Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php Since 5.4 is closed to non-security fixes, this probably won't be fixed, so the alternative is to upgrade bison.
