[Slackbuilds-users] PTLib doesn't compile any more on -current

[Sebastian Arcus]

Just a heads up that PTLib doesn't seem to compile any more on 
Slackware-current. I've tried to make sense of the error message below 
and googled, and it would appear it might be related to the version of 
Bison not supporting certain options any more - but I can't really make 
sense of things. I also tried the slightly newer ptlib-2.10.11. Then 
again, PTLib seems to have been last updated in 2013, so maybe it just 
won't compile on a modern system any more. If anybody has any hints, 
they are most welcome.
