here is the latest version of flex (2.3 Patch #7) for the atari.
first:
read the files COPYING, flex.1, flexdoc.1 and README
acknowledgements:
to Vern Paxson for this increditable effort, and for making
it available freely.
installation:
- get flex distribution: version 2.3 patch #7
(available on prep.ai.mit.edu)
- apply the patches in atari.diffs to the distribution.
[ also apply the patches in diff2, diff3, and diff4, in that order. -- hyc]
- add the files Makefile.atari, yyread.c, README.atari to
the distribution.
- edit Makefile.atari to fix up paths (or you can use
the included executable flex.ttp).
- make
- cp flex.ttp to anywhere in $PATH
- cp flex.skel into the file named SKELETON_FILE in makefile.cgcc
(flex.ttp is built with e:/lib/flex.skel)
- cp flexlib.olb into $GNULIB so that gcc -lflexlib can find it.
- run atleast the small test.
it passes all the tests. _stksize is set to -1L. if you want to change it,
make it a larg'ish number.
you can also fix up the path to the skel file by patching the binary
with a shorter or same length path as e:/lib/flex.skel. (dont
forget to put the 0 byte if you patch to a shorter path). i use
gnuEmacs for all my binary editing needs!
please report all atari related errors to me, dont bug vern with them.
enjoy,
