When trying to configure bison 2.4.1
(http://directory.fsf.org/project/bison/) on a Solaris 2.8, the
configuration stops with
> ../../unZipped/bison-2.4.1/configure
../../unZipped/bison-2.4.1/configure: syntax error at line 23510: `}' unexpected
> uname -a
SunOS axkmsapp075n2 5.8 Generic_117350-33 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-480R Solaris
> echo $CONFIG_SHELL
/bin/ksh
However, if I set the CONFIG_SHELL environment variable to an empty
string then the configure script goes a bit further. It stops with
checking for Java virtual machine... (cached) java
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating javacomp.sh
config.status: creating javaexec.sh
config.status: creating runtime-po/Makefile.in
config.status: creating etc/bench.pl
nawk: input record ` print $out "1+...' too long
input record number 122
source line number 397
config.status: error: could not create etc/bench.pl
> nmake --version
version make (AT&T Research) 4.3 2003-04-15
It looks like a bug in the configure script. Could you please check it?
