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).
