[Flex-help] linking problems

[Voisard, C. S C. N. K. <chr...@na...>]

 Is there any way to link libfl.a, but turn off the default creation of main() routine (aside from declaring a main() at the bottom of my lexer.l file)  ?   I am trying to integrate a flex scanner into a pre-existing app that has its own main() .  I have looked throughtout the flex online docs, but I have not found any reference for this.  I have tried declaring "extern int main(int, char**);" in my lexer.l file, but that doesn't work.

Thanks,
shane
