make Menuconfig Error

Cloned most recent u-boot 2018.06.14
make clean works
make menuconfig fails:

/bin/sh: 1: bison: not found scripts/kconfig/Makefile:229: recipe for target 'scripts/kconfig/dochecklxdialog' failed make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/dochecklxdialog] Error 1 Makefile:491: recipe for target 'menuconfig' failed make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2

I've checked for bison, visually and with apt-cache search but I have found none.

Will try rebuild based on u-boot from 2018.05.14 on SPDX errors, That version did build.

Hi Duncan,

This was introduced with commit e91610da7c8a9fe42f3e5a75f06c3d1a0cb5f815 (kconfig: re-sync with Linux 4.17-rc4)

It seems that they made bison an external dependency instead of keeping the pre-compiled scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.c_shipped and friends.

I just "sudo apt-get install flex bison" and it worked great.

Not so much for me:

Raspbian no flex :-(

Package flex is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source
E: Package 'flex' has no installation candidate

In this repository. It might exist elsewhere.

I generally use raspbian to compile u-boot for the raspberry pi, and Debian as a file server.

The 06.15.2018 version works.
Instead of installing bits and pieces of the toolchain, how about reverting to the previous  version? Is there link to updated documentation for pre-regs?

This looks very much like either something in the repository setup on your Raspberry Pi is broken or the package mirror you use has problems. According to

  http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian/dists/stable/main/binary-armhf/Packages.xz

Raspbian/stable definitely has both flex as well as bison in the main repository:

Please refresh your local package information with "sudo apt-get update" and retry installing flex and bison.  If that doesn't work, please provide your repository configuration, i.e. the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*, perhaps we can spot the source of your problem there. Good catch. Raspbian and Debian now fail in identical ways.Thanks

Karsten
