Description Craig Boston 2002-10-25 01:00:02 UTC 
Compile of MIT Kerberos 5 (security/krb5) chokes at:

bison -y ./ftpcmd.y
./ftpcmd.y:207.3: parse error, unexpected "=", expecting ";" or "|"
./ftpcmd.y:244.5-245.9: $2 of `cmd' has no declared type
------and many more------
gmake[3]: *** [ftpcmd.c] Error 1

Seems to be related to the upgrade of bison to 1.75.  I've run into this on every machine I've tried so far.  Sorry for marking as critical/high priority, but I'm sure many will be scrambling to upgrade due to the recently discovered buffer overflow...

Fix: 

No fix yet.  Workaround is to "pkg_delete bison\*".  krb5 build will then use yacc instead and it seems to work.
How-To-Repeat: portupgrade bison
cd /usr/ports/security/krb5
make build
