[ivykis][configure] syntax error near unexpected token `('

[WigginsLiu2016]

• I tried to compile ivykis, but the generated configure format is incorrect. Is my bison version incorrect?

This seems to be a syslog-ng compilation error, not necessarily an ivykis one.

configure scripts usually have syntax errors if the required autoconf tools were not the right versions. They may have errored out earlier, didn't they?

Also, the release tarball should already have a functional configure script, why don't you use that?

Or if you do have a reason to regenerate the configure script, use ./dbld/rules tarball to generate one, it would use docker images to ensure the required autotools stuff is there.

Thanks. I'm trying to fix the syslog-ng compilation tool.
