Illegal Instruction during install-script

[nicklee1990]

OS: OSX High Sierra - 10.13.3
Whilst running the install-script, I encountered the following error:

21171 Illegal instruction: 4 src/bison --version > doc/bison.help.tmp as well as several messages saying XXXX has no symbols

It looks as though this might be a known issue with bison on OSX 10.13. I've tried searching for workarounds but haven't been able to find any so far.

Are there any suggestions for a way round this? I've not got a C++ background so I'm a little bit in the dark on this. I'm only trying to build this as it's required for the Java demo app. Perhaps a Docker container with all the deps pre-installed would be useful here?

Detailed output:

I got past this by just commenting out the bison installation in the install-script after the initial fail since it did actually download bison, but that's not a great workaround!

Glad you were able to resolve it.
Thanks for the note on install-script.. and we will check and resolve if it still exists in the High Sierra. Thanks -SS

I have the same issue but I got away using brew and the minimal installer script min-install-script

1. $ brew install cmake gstreamer gst-plugins-good # something else might be needed
2. $ ./min-install-script
3. profit

We will add brew install instructions separately (apart from the full install-script).
