qemuarm: configure of bison fails, claims to need flex

[Robert P. J. Day]

  trying to build absolutely stock qemuarm image with current oe-core,
got:

ERROR: Task 800
(virtual:native:/home/rpjday/OE/dist/layers/oe-core/meta/recipes-devtools/bison/bison_2.5.1.bb,
do_configure) failed with exit code '1'

and the log file claimed that bison needed flex.  i'm doing it all
over again from scratch just to make sure it wasn't something silly i
did, i'll report back if i can reproduce it.

  ah, i see where i did something unapproved -- to test what i could
add to the ASSUME_PROVIDED list, i added this to my local.conf:

ASSUME_PROVIDED += "m4 quilt"

which caused the configure step for bison to fail, claiming that it
needed flex.  should i have expected that?  am i misunderstanding the
rationale for ASSUME_PROVIDED?

rday

p.s.  just restricted to ASSUME_PROVIDED to "m4", that appears to be
causing the problem.

First of all, if you want to do that, you should be adding m4-native and
quilt-native to ASSUME_PROVIDED, not m4 and quilt, unless your build
machine somehow has cross-compiled stuff already ;)

You are misunderstanding the syntax. Were you not meaning m4-native and
quilt-native?

Cheers,
