>Description:
tools.mk needs to be improved.
Also see PR #26070: pkgsrc doesn't know about tools versions
A few problems:
Expects tools to be installed on certain platforms for some
operating systems. For example, it assumes that yacc is available
for Linux -- really it is not and in some cases bison is.
And it will not check first. And it does not install package
if needed.
When you tell a package that you need some tool for the build,
it uses misnamed "USE_GNU_TOOLS". So if you need a generic yacc,
then this means on NetBSD that it will use "bison -y" instead
of its own native yacc.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Don't assume tools are there.
Add a USE_TOOLS which doesn't mean GNU version.
