- This file, ./MISC/Amiga/README.amiga, describes the necessary steps to get
- the FLEX 2.5.1 program up and running on the Commodore AMIGA with the
- help of SAS/C++ 6.51 and SMake 6.50. Also it describes the contents of the
- subdirectory ./MISC/Amiga, where `.' denotes the root directory of the
- standard installation of FLEX 2.5.1.

-
- FILES ADDED FOR INSTALLING FLEX 2.5.1 ON THE AMIGA
-
- The standard distribution of FLEX 2.5.1 is assumed to be installed on
- your AMIGA computer. `Installed' means that all source files from the
- original archive are present in a root directory (denoted by `.' in what
- follows) and, if appropriate, one or more subdirectories, on your machine.
-
- The original source files are totally left untouched, the necessary changes
- are applied in the form of `change files'. For installing FLEX 2.5.1 on
- the AMIGA, several additional files come with this patch.

- HOW TO INSTALL FLEX 2.5.1 ON THE AMIGA
-
- Copy all files from ./MISC/Amiga to the root directory of the FLEX 2.5.1
- distribution and edit `SMakefile' as it instructs you. There shouldn't be
- too many changes necessary. Then say "make bootflex". This creates a
- preliminary version of FLEX 2.5.1 without using itself.
-
- WARNING: Don't say "make flex" yet. Any pre-2.5 version of FLEX will fail
- on the file `scan.l' due to some new features only present in FLEX 2.5.
-
- Then say "make flex". At least once the FLEX program created in the first
- step will be used. To make sure that everything is alright, finally say
- "make check". If you change the code, you should also say "make bigcheck"
- for some more thorough testing.
-
- When you are satisfied with the results, say "make install". This will
- copy the `flex' binary, the `libfl.lib' file, and the `FlexLexer.h' header
- to the paths specified in the `SMakefile'.
-
- Finally, you should say "make clean" to remove all intermediate files from
- the root directory. "make veryclean" also removes `flex' and `scan.c'.

-
- TROUBLE SHOOTING
-
- FLEX 2.5.1 was ported to the AMIGA and tested with the following setup:
-
- AMIGA 2000
- GVP G-Force 030/50/50/8
- SAS/C++ 6.51
- SED 2.05
- BISON 1.22
- WMERGE from the CWEB distribution
-
- Should you encounter problems with this AMIGA patch for FLEX 2.5.1 or
- should you have ideas for further improvements, like using GnuMake instead
