This is flex, the fast lexical analyzer generator. flex is a tool for generating scanners: programs which recognize lexical patterns in text. More information about flex as well as the latest official release of flex can be found at: http://flex.sourceforge.net/ Bug reports should be submitted using the SourceForge Bug Tracker for flex at: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=97492&atid=618177 The flex codebase is kept in git at: https://github.com/westes/flex There are several mailing lists available as well: [email protected] - where posts will be made announcing new releases of flex. [email protected] - where you can post questions about using flex [email protected] - where you can discuss development of flex itself Find information on subscribing to the mailing lists at: http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=97492 The flex distribution contains the following files which may be of interest: README - This file. NEWS - current version number and list of user-visible changes. INSTALL - basic installation information. ABOUT-NLS - description of internationalization support in flex. COPYING - flex's copyright and license. doc/ - user documentation. examples/ - containing examples of some possible flex scanners and a few other things. See the file examples/README for more details. TODO - outstanding bug reports, desired features, etc. tests/ - regression tests. See TESTS/README for details. po/ - internationalization support files. You need the following tools to build flex from the maintainer's repository: compiler suite - flex is built with gcc bash, or a good Bourne-style shell m4 - m4 -p needs to work; GNU m4 and a few others are suitable GNU bison; to generate parse.c from parse.y autoconf 2.69; for handling the build system automake 1.12.2; for Makefile generation gettext 0.18; fori18n support help2man 1.36; to generate the flex man page tar, gzip, etc.; for packaging of the source distribution GNU texinfo 498; to build and test the flex manual GNU indent 2.8; for indenting the flex source the way we want it done Once you have all the necessary tools installed, life becomes simple. To prepare the flex tree for building, run the script: $ ./autogen.sh in the top level of the flex source tree. This script calls the various tools needed to get flex ready for the GNU-style configure script to be able to work. From this point on, building flex follows the usual configure, make, make install routine. This file is part of flex. This code is derived from software contributed to Berkeley by Vern Paxson.
