Additional context I'm trying to pinpoint the codechange that caused https://github.com/fluent/fluent-bit/issues/8993 - for that i need to be able to build fluent-bit from sources

if you do a basic cmake ../ inside build/ does it work ? (without setting any environment variable)

[cosmo0920]

It seems that record accessor is not compiled correctly. Did you install bison and flex via homebrew?

cmake succeeds (like in the other case too), but the subsequent make is where i get the errors

Yep

➜  build git:(master) which flex
/opt/homebrew/opt/flex/bin/flex
➜  build git:(master) which bison
/opt/homebrew/opt/bison/bin/bison

[edsiper]

Make sure you have the proper versions:

~ $ flex --version
flex 2.6.4
~ $ bison --version
bison (GNU Bison) 3.8.2
