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

<screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/usr</userinput></screen>
|

|
|
<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 <userinput>flex</userinput> yet and try
|
|
to run its predecessor <userinput>lex</userinput>. To support those programs,
|
|
create a shell script named <filename>lex</filename> that calls
|
|
<userinput>flex</userinput> in Lex emulation mode:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>cat > /usr/bin/lex << "EOF"</userinput>
|
|
#!/bin/sh
|
|
# Begin /usr/bin/lex
|
|
|
|
exec /usr/bin/flex -l "$@"
|
|
|
|
# End /usr/bin/lex
|
|
<userinput>EOF
|
|
chmod 755 /usr/bin/lex</userinput></screen>
