I'm trying to bitbake glibc 2.27 (https://layers.openembedded.org/layerindex/recipe/80771/) in my yocto project but I have an error like this:
| checking for gnumake... make
| checking version of make... 4.2.1, ok
| checking for gnumsgfmt... no
| checking for gmsgfmt... no
| checking for msgfmt... no
| checking for makeinfo... makeinfo

| checking version of sed... 4.7, ok

| configure: error:
| *** These critical programs are missing or too old: bison

to verify the checklist (on my host Ubuntu):
sudo apt-get install gnumsgfmt
E: Unable to locate package gnumsgfmt
sudo apt-get install gmsgfmt
E: Unable to locate package gmsgfmt
sudo apt-get install msgfmt
E: Unable to locate package msgfmt
sed --version
sed (GNU sed) 4.7
gawk --version
GNU Awk 5.0.1, API: 2.0 (GNU MPFR 4.0.2, GNU MP 6.2.0)
bison --version
bison (GNU Bison) 3.5.1
Unlike sed or gawk, the checked versions are same as versions on host Ubuntu.
But bison is an exception,
I'm not sure if in crossing compiling, how can I check if bison is existed in yocto? bison-native?
if I download the glibc 2.27 source code and run the ./configure in my Ubuntu, I got this:
hecking for gmake... no
checking for make... make
checking version of make... 4.2.1, ok
checking for gnumsgfmt... no
checking for gmsgfmt... no
checking for msgfmt... no
checking for makeinfo... makeinfo
checking version of makeinfo... 6.7, ok
checking for sed... sed
checking version of sed... 4.7, ok
checking for gawk... gawk
checking version of gawk... 5.0.1, ok
checking for bison... bison
checking version of bison... 3.5.1, ok
checking if gcc is sufficient to build libc... yes
checking for nm... nm
checking for python3... python3
checking version of python3... 3.8.5, ok
So if compiling on host (not cross compiling), glibc can find my bison successfully.
