Summary: Compilation issue

Initial Comment:
I have downloaded Cscope and tried to compile it.  I'm 
doing this on an HP-UX system.  I typed "CFLAGS='-Ae -
DYYCHAR_ARRAY' CURSES_LIBS=-lHcurses ./configure" 
which executed successfully.  I then typed "make" and 
recevied the following:

Making all in src
        source='scanner.c' object='scanner.o' 
libtool=no \
        depfile='.deps/scanner.Po' 
tmpdepfile='.deps/scanner.TPo' \
        depmode=hp /bin/sh ../depcomp \
        cc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I..      -Ae -
DYYCHAR_ARRAY -c `test -f 'scanner.c' || 
echo './'`scanner.c
cc: "scanner.h", line 82: error 1584: Inconsistent 
type declaration: "yytext".
cc: "scanner.h", line 84: error 1584: Inconsistent 
type declaration: "yyleng".
*** Error exit code 1


When I configured with simply "./configure", I get the 
following when I type "make":

Making all in src
        source='scanner.c' object='scanner.o'

        depfile='.deps/scanner.Po'

Any idea why this is happening?  I hear cscope is a 
great tool and I would like to use it. Your help is 
appreciated.

I have no HP-UX machine myself to test this on, so you'll
probably have to do a bit of investigation on your own to
find out in which interesting ways HP mutilated this edition
of their 'lex', to make it incompatible with what cscope
expects.  It probably needs yet one more -D option set now
--- but only someone with the HP-UX lex documentation can
possibly find out what that may be.

It's incompatibilities like this that make me generally
recommend using 'flex' instead.
