Re: [Cscope-devel] Problem building cscope in cygwin with Windows XP

Thanks for your mail.  I installed flex using the cygwin setup tool.  If possible can you please send me the link for getting the flex tool setup executable?

Regards,
Rama

I don't recall having seen such behaviour before, although I've 
regularly been building cscope on XP for years.  A quick test of the 
15.7 tarball on XP also doesn't show any irregularities.

This might indicate either a bug in the version of flex you're using, or 
signal a general instability of the machine you're on.
