Make sure your bison and flex versions are up to date. On MacOS, bison is very old.

hello Victor,

you are right, that was the problem.
But i installed now macports and all dependencies and the 
latest bison.
the problem is than make does not take it in /opt/local/bin but in /usr/bin.
(latest Tahoe).
The  path in .zprofile is correct.
i added it in .profile too in case.
hacking the cmakecache.txt correcting the path
Make a perfect build.
Thank you and Bests

You need to put /opt/local/bin before /usr/bin in your path variable, then run cmake.
