Bug #69055 [NEW]: Bison 3.0.2 not supported

From: worldoffame at hotmail dot com Operating system: Ubuntu 14 PHP version: 5.5Git-2015-02-15 (Git) Package: *Compile Issues Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Bison 3.0.2 not supported Description: ------------ Well it appears that for PHP 5.5 Bison 3.0 is not supported. I use command sudo apt-get install bison, which acquires Bison 3.0.2 for me. When I run the ./configure command as specified by PHP internal book on building PHP from source, I get an error message: Documentation: http://www.phpinternalsbook.com/build_system/building_php.html Error Message: checking for bison... bison -y checking for bison version... invalid configure: WARNING: bison versions supported for regeneration of the Zend/PHP parsers: 1.28 1.35 1.75 1.875 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 2.4.1 2.4.2 2.4.3 2.5 2.5.1 2.6 2.6.1 2.6.2 2.6.3 2.6.4 2.6.5 2.7 (found 3.0). This appears to be a major problem as the only bison version I can get is Bison 3.0.2 using apt-get install bison. Tried Bison 2.7.1 with apt-get install bison=2:2.7.1.dfsg-1, but it says version number is invalid. For this reason, I am stuck with Bison 3.0.2. It is very inconvenient that Bison 3.0.2 is not supported for PHP 5.5, please fix this or maybe, release a patch? -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69055&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69055&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69055&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69055&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69055&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69055&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69055&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69055&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69055&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69055&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69055&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69055&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69055&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69055&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69055&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69055&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69055&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69055&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69055&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69055&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69055&r=mysqlcfg
