[Flex-help] Problem generating C file from flex

[Manish K. <mka...@gm...>]

Hello friends,
 I am new to flex.........I have a .l file which contains statements like this

%start KEY ARGS SET cmt literal echo str
%{
static int      oldstate=KEY;
%}

When i parse this file using "flex -l -X tsh.l".........The output C
file has contents.

#line 78 "tsh.l"
static int      oldstate=KEY;
#line 668 "lex.yy.c"

#define INITIAL 0
#define KEY 1
#define ARGS 2
#define SET 3
#define cmt 4
#define literal 5
#define echo 6
#define str 7

As can be clearly seen.........KEY is defined after its use due to
which compilation fails.....Shouldn't the definitions be before the
oldstate=KEY line............Am is missing something ? ....Please help

I am using the bison which I have built for HP-ia64 architecture with
the config options as "./config --prefix=$MYPATH". However when I use
the flex which is already installed on the machine it defines the
keywords properly....ie..before their use........What should be the
config options.
