Building re2c after a make clean will fail:

cd re2c-0.13.5

./configure

<-- snipped -->

make

<-- snipped -->

make clean

test -z "re2c" || rm -f re2c
test -z "parser.cc y.tab.c y.tab.h scanner.cc re2c.1 .version
htdocs/manual.html" || rm -f parser.cc y.tab.c y.tab.h scanner.cc re2c.1
.version htdocs/manual.html
rm -f *.o

./configure

<-- snipped -->

make

yacc -d ./parser.y || exit
/bin/sh: yacc: command not found
make: *** [parser.cc] Error 127

The error is that 'yacc' was not found. Probably you just need to install it. Another possibility is that your system should be using 'bison' instead of 'yacc', but ./configure did not figure that out. I believe that most modern Linux distos provide 'bison'. Please attach output of ./configure if you still need help.

IOW: this looks like a user error. It should be closed unless the ./configure output shows a problem.

FYI: 'make clean' deletes 'parser.cc', which will then be regenerated by $(YACC) from 'parser.y'.

No further information in four months. Assume user needs to install yacc or bison. Closed.
