tiny build issue in make: ../../ylwrap: line 176: yacc: command not found about nfdump HOT 2 CLOSED

the list of required packages varies a little bit by os, byacc for example is one that you can infer needs to be installed via the ubuntu docker
https://github.com/phaag/nfdump/blob/master/extra/docker/Dockerfile.ubuntu#L25

but even then, this doesnt cover if you use nfsen or certain plugins.. or options.

here are my notes for for what i installed in ubuntu for example:

install requirements for nfdump

sudo apt-get install git wget unzip man apt-utils dialog pkg-config libtool autoconf autogen bison byacc flex make libpcap-dev libbz2-dev rrdtool bzip2

install requirements for nfsen (nfprofile/nftrack)

sudo apt-get install  librrdp-perl librrds-perl librrd-dev liburi-perl

install requirements for nfsen/bin scripts - nfsen alerting breaks if perl is compiled with threading

sudo apt-get install libdbi-perl

from nfdump.

It checks for bison or yacc, whereas bison is preferred. It uses the standard autoconf macro AC_PROG_YACC. Therefore you should be safe.
