Bug #12707: Ripper is not built due to missing bison

• Status: Closed

[vo.x (Vit Ondruch)]

Bison was never required to build Ruby from the source tarball. But now (testing with snapshot of r 56008) it seems that Ripper requires Bison to be available:

*** Following extensions failed to configure:
../.././ext/ripper/extconf.rb:10: missing bison; abort
*** Fix the problems, then remove these directories and try again if you want.

Is this intentional?

I don't observer this issue anymore. This was probably part of the issues resolved in #12681.
