Arch Linux User Repository

bison is part of base-devel, which is assumed to be installed when building packages from the AUR: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites

bison should be added as a dependency (make)

FYI, I just changed the pkgver in the PKGBUILD file to 3.0.4 and ran makepkg -i, and everything built correctly.

The package can't be build at the moment. This is due to incompatability with mxml 3.0. This has been fixed with https://github.com/zynaddsubfx/zynaddsubfx/commit/abf10fc26b8e1f0328d14ee2a89943574ffb6fd7#diff-4dc067f230a667511dc8a357a73d34fb which is in the release 3.0.4 of zynaddsubfx.

It should be fixed now, thanks again.

Thanks for notifying me and for the fix. I am currently on vacation with no access to my Arch machine but I will look into it when I get back.

Package doesn't build with Python 3.7 due to an outdated wscript in pugl. See https://github.com/mruby-zest/mruby-zest-build/issues/13

Ah, apparently it’s the third-party library “pugl” which requires -lGLU when building, even though it does not appear to actually use any symbol from glu (and so the linker just drops it). I have now updated the PKGBUILD, thanks for notifying me.
