lfs/chapter05/flex.xml
Jeremy Huntwork 72d7e2822e Moved all dependency information to a new page, Appendix C.
Appendix C also contains information concerning the build order.
While there might need to be a few tweaks yet, this information is complete
enough at this point to close out the long-standing ticket #684.
Many thanks to Chris Staub, Dan Nicholson and Manuel Canales Esparcia for
helping get this finished.

<title>Installation of Flex</title>
<para>Flex contains several known bugs. These can be fixed with the
following patch:</para>
<screen><userinput>patch -Np1 -i ../&flex-fixes-patch;</userinput></screen>
<para>The GNU autotools will detect that the Flex source code has been
modified by the previous patch and tries to update the man page
accordingly. This does not work on many systems, and the default page is
fine, so make sure it does not get regenerated:</para>
<screen><userinput>touch doc/flex.1</userinput></screen>
<para>Now prepare Flex for compilation:</para>
<screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/tools</userinput></screen>
<para>Compile the package:</para>
<screen><userinput>make</userinput></screen>
<para>To test the results, issue:
<userinput>make check</userinput>.</para>
<para>Install the package:</para>
