Bison installs in /usr/local/ direct from the sources in [1], and works fine will their inhouse version of clang. Bison also needs m4 which can be installed the same from [2]. Just compile with ./configure && make, and 'make pdf' if you want the PDF manual, then sud only on the install: 'sudo make install' and 'sudo make install-pdf'. Also, MacPorts [3] packages tend to be more up-to-date. It is installed in /opt/, so /usr/local doesn't get cluttered. So it is possible to choose what one wants, say GCC from MacPorts, and the original Clang from their site in different builds, especially easy if you use Automake, which admits out of source tree compilation. 1. https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bison/ 2. https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/ 3. https://www.macports.org _______________________________________________ help-bison@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-bison
