[mapserver-users] byacc error on make from CVS

[Tyler Mitchell]

Hi Frank, thanks for your suggestion.  I had found some other direction and
was successful.
FYI
In my Makefile, I modified the line defining YACC and set it to bison
instead of byacc.  It now works fine.

looks as if your byacc does not support to "-o" option to specify an
output file. AFAIR mapserver build process is relatively strict bound to
the GNU version of yacc, bison.

A try would be to indentify the line in the generated makefile and
edit it to something like
byacc -p msyy -d mapparser.y > mapparser.c

Regards,

        Frank
