#35951 [Fbk->Opn]: configure doesn't check for flex

ID: 35951 User updated by: jan at horde dot org Reported By: jan at horde dot org -Status: Feedback +Status: Open Bug Type: Compile Failure Operating System: Linux SUSE 10.0 PHP Version: 4CVS-2006-01-10 (CVS) New Comment: 1) It is also required if you build a fresh checkout from CVS (see version). 2) configure does *not* check for it, otherwise it wouldn't fail and I wouldn't have created this bug report 3) The fact that the check in configure is obviously broken atm. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-01-10 08:35:28] tony2001@php.net 1) It is required only if you changed the .l file and want to rebuild the .c file. 2) ./configure checks for it. 3) What's the exact problem? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-01-10 01:04:21] jan at horde dot org Description: ------------ If building from a CVS checkout, flex is required to create zend_language_scanner.c from zend_language_scanner.l. But the configure script doesn't check for it, or at least doesn't fail if it isn't installed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=35951&edit=1
