I'm working on the package for vtk 5-4-0 in macports (vtk-devel). The src/Wrapping/README.txt indicates a dependency on yacc (byacc) and flex. I have the following available (through macports), which dependency should I use?<br>
<br>*****************************************************************************<br>
<br>bison @2.4.1 (devel)<br> general-purpose parser generator<br><br>bison1 @1.875 (devel, lang)<br> general-purpose parser generator<br><br>byacc @20090221 (devel)<br> Berkeley Yacc<br><br>flex @2.5.35 (devel)<br>

<br>bison @2.4.1 (devel)<br>Variants: universal, yacc<br><br>Bison is a general-purpose parser generator that converts a grammar description for an LALR context-free grammar into a C program to<br>parse that grammar. Once you are proficient with Bison, you can use it to develop a wide range of language parsers, from those used in<br>
simple desk calculators to complex programming languages.<br>Homepage: <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/bison/">http://www.gnu.org/software/bison/</a><br><br>Library Dependencies: gettext, m4, libiconv<br>Platforms: darwin<br>

<br>Berkeley Yacc (byacc) is generally conceded to be the best yacc variant available. In contrast to bison, it is written to avoid<br>dependencies upon a particular compiler.<br>Homepage: <a href="http://invisible-island.net/byacc/">http://invisible-island.net/byacc/</a><br>

<br><br>Furthermore, if both bison yacc and byacc are installed, how are they called; ie, how do we control which one is used?<br><br>Thanks in advance,<br>Darren<br><br><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, May 4, 2009 at 1:17 PM, David Thompson <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dcthomp@sandia.gov">dcthomp@sandia.gov</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>No, the wrapping in VTK is a parser written in C with the help of lex<br>
and yacc. It was written before SWIG existed, as I recall.<br>
