If you are simply installing flex, +you do not need to read this document (instead, read INSTALL). + + +NOTE + +A CVS snapshot of flex is NOT the same thing as a distribution of flex. A CVS +snapshot is used in the development of flex, while a "distribution" is used to +build and install flex. + + +REQUIREMENTS + +You will need various external tools in order to build the distribution. Here is +a (possibly incomplete) list of the required tools. Always get the latest +version of each tool: + + compiler suite ; e.g., gcc + bash ; required by autotools (I think!) + GNU bison ; to generate parse.c + GNU autotools ; autoconf, automake, autogen + GNU m4 ; required by autotools + flex ; for bootstrap of scan.l + tar/gzip ; to build the distro + texinfo tools ; to build and test the flex manual + perl ; not essential. this may be removed in the future + |
