Installing PHPNG from source on Mac OS X Mavericks

Question

I'm installing php-ng from source:

https://wiki.php.net/phpng

configure: error: bison is required to build PHP/Zend when building a GIT checkout!

I have bison installed so I don't understand

bison (GNU Bison) 2.3

I have also installed bison using homebrew this installs version 3.0 but for some reason it's still using version 2.3 (not sure if this is an issue?) and my /usr/local/bin appears before my /usr/bin (strange one) Brew says my system is ready and raring to brew.

Hope someone can help,

Cheers.

Answer 1

Managed to solve this by copying over the brew bison located here into /usr/bin not sure why brew didnt handle this?

Answer 2

Or you can use YACC env variables to specific that.

YACC=/path/to/bison ./configure (---args)
