Re: It's almost... Snapshot Monday!

[Chris Chabot <chabotc reviewboard com>]

It would provide me with great personal pleasure, and the ability to 
test gnome2 on newer platforms, if some one could make sure that the 
bison 1.3 problems with bonobo-activation would be fixed before the 
monday snapshot.
(this breaks compile on rawhide / redhat 8 pre-beta, and a few solaris 
people).

The problem is in activation-context-query-parser.y, which has the 
following define:

#define YYSTACK_USE_ALLOCA
which with pristine bison 1.29 or 1.30 also gives:
#if YYSTACK_USE_ALLOCA
.. which gcc doesn't like.

So, change the define to:
#define YYSTACK_USE_ALLOCA 1

See bugs (all on the same error, but non marked duplicate?)

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70336
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65059

And in the 1.4 platform, the bug already made its apearance:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61308

It seems to be fixed in the cvs HEAD version, so a release with this fix 
included would be very nice ;-)
