No it's not, we only support 2.5.4.
Confusing answers, but anyway, configure doesn't fail on flex, neither does it generate a warning or such. It says (from the log) Checking for flex.. and Checking for flex version..
It has been discussed numerous times, search the archives. Here is the link for starters: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=618177&aid=1447867&group_id=97492 For quick ones, the answer as to why nobody ever bothered about it: http://marc.info/?l=php-dev&m=105066214431326&w=2
and btw derick, since when is 2.5.4 newer than 2.5.33? 2.5.4 has been released in 1997, and 2.5.33 in 2006, which is still the latest stable version atm.
"Latest stable" doesn't always mean "better". We still use autoconf 2.13 because it's been proved to be the most stable and fastest version ever. But you're encouraged to change this, flex people have left some basic instructions, see the first link I mentioned above. -- Wbr, Antony Dovgal
