Hi Paul,
At first I was missing "yacc". Installing either bison or byacc gets
me to this error.
Has configure been re-run since the installation?
Yes -- rerunning configure, rerunning autogen.sh, running make clean; make
all gave the same error.
On a fresh repo, the problem became more apparent, since sbr/dtimep.c
came up missing. It comes from sbr/dtimep.l, which meant lex/flex was
missing.
I should have checked for that when I realized yacc was missing. Oh well.
But here's the thing: when configure doesn't find lex or flex, it
sets the value of the program to ":". wth? Wouldn't "false" be
a far more effective substitute? If there's a way to tell configure
to change that behavior, we should consider it.
Anyway, after installing flex, all is well on Ubuntu 20.
