New: bison unnecessarily required as build dependency

Summary: bison unnecessarily required as build dependency
Product: buildroot
Version: unspecified
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: P5
Component: Other
AssignedTo: unassigned at buildroot.uclibc.org
ReportedBy: arved at arved.at
CC: buildroot at uclibc.org
Estimated Hours: 0.0

support/dependencies.sh requires that bison is installed on the host system.

This is unnecessary for packages that use bison, because buildroot supports to depend on a host-bison.

The only other usage is in the kconfig build, but kconfig builds successfully without bison before dependencies.sh is run.

Suggested solution:
Remove bison from support/dependencies.sh

--- Comment #1 from Thomas Petazzoni <[email protected]> 2013-02-25 15:54:06 UTC --- I agree, but I think bison on the host might be needed for the internal
toolchain backend, while building binutils/gcc/gdb. We would need to check
that, and add the needed dependency on host-bison where needed.
