Summary: Building re2c after a make clean will fail

Initial Comment:
Building re2c after a make clean will fail:

# cd re2c-0.13.5

# ./configure

# make

# make clean
test -z "re2c" || rm -f re2c
test -z "parser.cc y.tab.c y.tab.h scanner.cc re2c.1 .version
htdocs/manual.html" || rm -f parser.cc y.tab.c y.tab.h scanner.cc re2c.1
.version htdocs/manual.html

No further information in four months. Assume user needs to install yacc or
bison. Closed.

Message:
The error is that 'yacc' was not found. Probably you just need to install
it. Another possibility is that your system should be using 'bison' instead
of 'yacc', but ./configure did not figure that out. I believe that most
modern Linux distos provide 'bison'. Please attach output of ./configure if
you still need help.

IOW: this looks like a user error. It should be closed unless the
./configure output shows a problem.

FYI: 'make clean' deletes 'parser.cc', which will then be regenerated by
$(YACC) from 'parser.y'.
