<para>Prepare Flex for compilation:</para>

<para>Compile the package:</para>

<para>This package has a test suite available which can perform a number of
|
|
checks to ensure it built correctly. Should you choose to run it, the
|
|
following command will do so:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>make bigcheck</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>And install the package:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>make install</userinput></screen>

|
|
|
<para>There are some packages that expect to find the Lex library in
|
|
<filename>/usr/lib</filename>. Create a symlink to account for this:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>ln -s libfl.a /usr/lib/libl.a</userinput></screen>

|
|
<para>A few programs don't know about <command>flex</command> yet and try
|
|
to run its predecessor <command>lex</command>. To support those programs,
|
|
create a shell script named <filename>lex</filename> that calls
|
|
<command>flex</command> in Lex emulation mode:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>cat > /usr/bin/lex << "EOF"</userinput>

#!/bin/sh

# Begin /usr/bin/lex

exec /usr/bin/flex -l "$@"

<userinput>EOF
