  Message : build: drop support for byacc It doesn't support `%define parse.error detailed` which we want to use. If needed, we can probably bring back support using some macro hackery. Signed-off-by: Ran Benita <ran@unusedvar.com>

• PACKAGING

• libxkbcommon consists of three shared libraries, libxkbcommon (the main
  library), libxkbcommon-x11 (an addon library for XCB clients) and libxkbregistry
  (a library to list available RMLVO options).
  
  The files for libxkbcommon-x11 are:
      libxkbcommon-x11.a libxkbcommon-x11.so* xkbcommon/xkbcommon-x11.h
      xkbcommon-x11.map xkbcommon-x11.pc
  
  libxkbcommon-x11 can be disabled with -Denable-x11=false (see
  `meson configure build` for other options/variables).
  
  The files for libxkbregistry are:
      libxkbregistry.a libxkbregistry.so* xkbcommon/xkbregistry.h
      xkbregistry.map xkbregistry.pc
  
  libxkbregistry can be disabled with -Denable-xkbregistry=false (see
  `meson configure build` for other options/variables).
  
  Dependencies for libxkbcommon:
  - C compiler, meson, pkg-config, libc.
  
  - (build) bison (preferred) or win_bison
  
  - (build optional, runtime required) xkeyboard-config.
    During build, for automatically detecting the value of
    -Dxkb-config-root instead of guessing (/usr/share/X11/xkb).
    During runtime, not strictly needed, but most users of the library
    would need it.
  
  - (runtime) libX11.
    Contains the dataset for Compose support (/usr/share/X11/locale).
    Please don't depend on it explicitly.
  
  - (build optional) doxygen.
    For generating the HTML documentation.
    To disable, use -Denable-docs=false.
  
  - (build optional) gperf.
    Output included in git and tarball. To regenerate, use
    `./scripts/update-keywords`.
  
  Dependencies for xkbcli:
  - libxkbcommon.
  
  Dependencies for libxkbcommon-x11:
  - libxkbcommon.
  
  - libxcb>=1.10 with libxcb-xkb.
  
  Dependencies for libxkbcommon-x11 tests:
  - xkbcomp, Xvfb.
    If they are not available, the relevant tests are skipped.
  
  Dependencies for libxkbregistry:
  - libxkbregistry is a sublibrary of libxkbcommon and cannot be built without
    building libxbkcommon. The files produced are otherwise independent.
  
  - libxml2
  
  - (build optional, runtime requirement) xkeyboard-config
    During build, for automatically detecting the value of
    -Dxkb-config-root instead of guessing (/usr/share/X11/xkb).
  
  Dependencies for Wayland tests:
  - wayland-client>=1.2.0, wayland-scanner, wayland-protocols>=1.0.
    To disable, use -Denable-wayland=false.
  
  Unless libxcb is always available as part of the system, it is preferred
  that libxkbcommon and libxkbcommon-x11 be split into separate packages,
  such that the main library does not depend on libxcb. This avoids a
  transitive dependency of Wayland clients on X libraries.
  
  It is perferred that libxkbregistry be split into a separate packages as most
  clients that require libxkbcommon do not require libxkbregistry and clients
  requiring libxkbregistry may not need libxkbcommon.
