I didn't find any direct info on this question, so I "dare" posting
it: quite often when I try to compile software on linux there are
files for lex or yacc. Usually I think it's a good thing to have
scanners and parsers generated automagically, but I seem never to be
able to use files written for lex with flex. (Yes, I DO change the
library to -lfl!) There are always quite some undefined symbols.
Mostly I get this straightened out by pushing the file through lex on
a Sparc2 and the hand-editing it so it goes along with libfl. But that
certainly can't be the way to go. Could someone push me back on right
path, please! How do I do it the right way??
Thanks for any advice,
Hank.
