I discovered the same thing about parser.l/parser.c a couple of weeks aga. So I
took the xboard source to a SPARCstation2 with SunOS4.1.1 and tried to "make" it.
Instead of flex it used lex. The resulting parser.c module compiled with no
problems using SunOS cc, however the second module, xboard.c I think it was, would not
compile. On my Linux machine (SLS 1.02) I had the same problem as you mentioned
but xboard.c compiled fine. So I took the lex output from the SUN machine (parser.c)
to my home system. I ran make and got a lot of warning messages but it made OK.
It runs with no problems under Xview/openwin :-)
If you don't have access to a SPARC machine with SunOS let me know (pfrancis@world.std.com)
and I will send you the lex version of parser.c.
