Bug #69780 [NEW]: PHP 5.6.9 configure compains about bison 3.0.4

From: dev at cor0 dot com Operating system: Solaris PHP version: 5.6.9 Package: *Compile Issues Bug Type: Bug Bug description:PHP 5.6.9 configure compains about bison 3.0.4 Description: ------------ After running configure the following message is seen : configure: WARNING: This bison version is not supported for regeneration of the Zend/PHP parsers (found: 3.0, min: 204, excluded: 3.0). However bisone 3.0.4 is the most recent production release : $ /usr/local/bin/bison --version bison (GNU Bison) 3.0.4 Written by Robert Corbett and Richard Stallman. Copyright (C) 2015 Free Software Foundation, Inc. This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. This seems similar to Bug #69055 which states "Bison 3.0.2 not supported". Reverting to some early release of bison should not be a reasonable response here. If that were the case then the same logic would apply to GNU make and even OpenSSL and many other software packages. Test script: --------------- No test script. Simply run configure with bison 3.0.4 installed. Expected result: ---------------- Expect no warning Actual result: -------------- Within output from configure the following is seen : . . . checking whether it is safe to define __EXTENSIONS__... yes checking whether ln -s works... yes checking for system library directory... lib checking whether to enable runpaths... yes checking if compiler supports -R... yes checking for gawk... gawk checking for bison... bison -y checking for bison version... invalid configure: WARNING: This bison version is not supported for regeneration of the Zend/PHP parsers (found: 3.0, min: 204, excluded: 3.0). checking for re2c... re2c checking for re2c version... 0.13.5 (ok) checking whether to enable computed goto gcc extension with re2c... no checking whether to force non-PIC code in shared modules... no checking whether /dev/urandom exists... yes checking for pthreads_cflags... checking for pthreads_lib... . . . -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69780&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69780&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69780&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69780&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69780&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69780&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69780&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69780&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69780&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69780&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69780&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69780&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69780&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69780&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69780&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69780&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69780&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69780&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69780&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69780&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69780&r=mysqlcfg
