This is release 2.4 of flex. See "version.h" for the exact patch-level.
|
|
|
|
See the file "NEWS" to find out what is new in this Flex release.
|
|
|
|
Read the file "INSTALL" for general installation directives. Peek near
|
|
the beginning of the file "Makefile.in" for special DEFS values. On most
|
|
systems, you can just run the "configure" script and type "make" to build
|
|
flex; then "make check" to test whether it built correctly; and if it did,
|
|
then "make install" to install it.
|
|
|
|
If you're feeling adventurous, you can also issue "make bigcheck" (be
|
|
prepared to wait a while).
|
|
|
|
Note that flex is distributed under a copyright very similar to that of
|
|
BSD Unix, and not under the GNU General Public License (GPL), except for
|
|
the "configure" script, which is covered by the GPL.
|
|
|
|
Many thanks to the 2.4 pre-testers for finding a bunch of bugs and helping
|
|
increase/test portability: Francois Pinard, Nathan Zelle, Gavin Nicol,
|
|
Chris Thewalt, and Matthew Jacob.
