Description wojnilowicz 2019-03-16 16:26:49 UTC 
SUMMARY
Building KService on MacOS High Sierra fails with stock bison 2.3.


OBSERVED RESULT
[  9%] [34m[1m[BISON][TraderParser] Building parser with bison 2.3[0m
services/yacc.y:18.1-5: invalid directive: `%code'
services/yacc.y:18.7-14: syntax error, unexpected identifier
make[6]: *** [src/yacc.c] Error 1
make[5]: *** [src/CMakeFiles/KF5Service.dir/all] Error 2

EXPECTED RESULT
No build error.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
There is a check in CMakeLists.txt for bison
find_package(BISON REQUIRED)
but there is no minimal version requirement, which seems to be not correct. KService compiles on MacOS if bison version is higher.
