This directory contains an AMIGA port of FLEX.
Disclaimer:
I did not write FLEX -- I just ported it.
FLEX is a LEX replacement that is much faster than LEX itself.
See the other documentation in
this directory for a more detailed description of FLEX.
To install FLEX on your AMIGA you should:
(1) The skeleton files should be copied to S:
copy flexskelcom.h s:
copy flexskeldef.h s:
copy fastskeldef.h s:
copy flex.skel s:
copy flex.fastskel s:
(2) Copy flex to your favorite "bin" directory:
copy flex c:
That's it. Now you should grab your favorite LEX specs and generate,
generate, and generate.
If you want to recompile flex:
lc -cw #?.c
blink with flex.lnk
Testing:
I have tested this port, and found a few bugs (real bugs and
differences from the Unix LEX). The user should be warned
that this LEX is not 100% compatible with the Unix LEX.
The biggest test I have done is to generate a scanner for an Ada syntax
checker, and that worked first try!
