Re: [Csnd-dev] Error trying to build Csound7 for Daisy

I had that issue as well, since I kind of hand-crafted my dev environment.
It turns out there's a cmake variable you can set to point it at whatever
bison path you like, so in your cmake invocation, you can do:

cmake <stuff> <stuff> -DBISON_EXECUTABLE=/full/path/to/the/bison/you/want
<stuff> <stuff>

That will set all the variables in the generated makefile properly, so just
running make afterwards should work.
