webkit-gtk @2.04: build failure with Bison 3.0

[istlota@…]

Every week, I do a sudo port upgrade outdated. This week, it prompted mac ports to be updated from v2.1.3 to 2.2.0, which worked. But, when it attempted to upgrade webkit-gtk from v2.03 to v2.04, that failed with the error contained in the main.log which I will attach.

Am getting exactly the same error and log output. The root cause seems to be this compilation error logged:

:info:build DerivedSources/ANGLE/glslang_tab.cpp:1785:16: error: no matching function for call to 'yylex'
:info:build       yychar = yylex (&yylval);

This is comment:ticket:39598:109 which I guess should be broken off into a separate ticket...

(There's also #39910 which is related, btw...)

Edit: Wait, you're the same person quoted in that comment... nvm...

Please Cc relevant port maintainers (port info --maintainers) in the future.

Has duplicate #39930.

Here's at least part of the problem:

Excerpt from bison 3.0 NEWS file:

** Backward incompatible changes

*** Obsolete features

  '''Support for YYLEX_PARAM and YYPARSE_PARAM is removed''' (deprecated in Bison
  1.875): use %lex-param, %parse-param, or %param.

Grep shows:

This code is from the Google ANGLE Project. Perhaps it would be expedient to revert bison to its pre-3.0 version until this is ironed out upstream.

Or create a bison2 port.

(Tangentially, webkit-gtk doesn’t currently declare a build dependency on bison, but it should.)

Explicit dependencies on bison, flex added in r108797. Bison was previously loaded implicitly.

That'd be the solution that I would go with.

Workaround:

port activate bison@2.7.1_9
port clean webkit-gtk 
port upgrade webkit-gtk

[larryv (Lawrence Velázquez)]

The bison port was rolled back to 2.7.1 in r108830. Clean webkit-gtk, do a selfupdate + upgrade outdated, and try again.

[jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)]

[istlota@…]

That fixed it. This time, when I did a sudo port upgrade outdated, bison was downgraded from v3.0.0 to v2.7.1, after which harfbuzz-icu upgraded to v0.9.19_2 and webkit-gtk upgraded successfully to v2.0.4_1. Thanks.

[jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)]

Fixed upstream. Worked around in MacPorts.

adaptation of upstream fix

[larryv (Lawrence Velázquez)]

I’ve backported upstream’s fix​, and it seems to work fine in my Mountain Lion VM. May I commit it? This is blocking #41600.

Ok with me as long as you fix it if it breaks (I don't have a machine to test) :-) .
