Re: [Bug-gnubg] Is anyone else seeing ylwrap problems building gnubg?

[Michael Petch]

I looked at this. One of the problems is that when ylwrap is called the
file y.tab.c is specified on the command line. The file doesn't exist so
ylwrap exits with a status of 1.

The ylwrap code that returns the error result code is interesting:

         # A missing file is only an error for the first file.  This
         # is a blatant hack to let us support using "yacc -d".  If -d
         # is not specified, we don't want an error when the header
         # file is "missing".
         if test $first = yes; then
            status=1
         fi
