- You may want to be wary of this; I noticed a bug in flex 2.3.7
- yesterday.
-
- Compiling tvtwm under linux (.97pl6, soon to be .98pl8), lex.l
- is flex'd into lex.c via flex -t. Compiling lex.c gave an error. I
- have flex and lex on my sparc, so I flex'd the file there and found the
- same error in compilation; so this is some bug with flex itself, not the
- port.
-
- When stuck, cheat. lex the file on the sparc, transfer to
- linux, compile. No probs.
