makefile issue in qlparser on oql.hh

[Peter Baumann]

a hickup can occur during "make", see log below; it seems that oql.hh is generated but oql.h is expected.

I can't reproduce it on 8.5.2 with a clean install, is there any deterministic command sequence to reproduce it for investigation? Which configure options were used?

[Peter Baumann]

Francisco Xavier has discovered that, I'll send you his email.

[abeccati]

Would be good if he also joins us on the user list and gets a trac account. I'm sending an invitation along with the request for details.

Hello to all,

I finally got the account. That error showed up after, during the compilation, bison was used to parse whatever code you have. It was after having to install the bison libs, that the problem occurred. I don't know the version of the bison I installed, but it was the most recent, at the point I tried to compile (2, 3 weeks ago).

Also affects me on both development and release_8.5 branches on a clean install, I only use "—prefix" and "—with-logdir" configure options.

[Dimitar Misev]

I reassign to you as you can reproduce it.

see this earlier discussion: ​https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/rasdaman-users/Td-6ZJ87tw8
Also see ​http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16098509/automake-1-12-changes-bison-yacc-output-names-backwards-incompatible-change

potential options:

• look at bison invocation, maybe use —yacc to emulate POSIX Yacc
• do a manual "mv oql.hh oql.h" (or something equivalent) in the Makefile

[Veranika Liaukevich]

Should I also commit this fix into release_8.5 branch?

[Peter Baumann]

yes, please do so.
