[Flex-devel] MISC folder

[SenseiC <cgo...@gm...>]

Going on the assumption that since my question involves the content of the
actual Flex tarball... I have sent this query to this distribution list.
If it belongs in the "help" list, please let me know and I will resend it
there.

Earlier this week I set out to build an Open Source product on OpenVMS.  As
seems the norm building one thing requires building several other
"supporting" applications first.  While I CAN obtain pre-built Flex
binaries for OpenVMS (based on the 2.5.4 code base), I noticed that it
appears the \misc folder no longer appears in the tarball.

Did it actually "get removed" or do I need to pull the source from
somewhere OTHER than the SourceForge site???

Assuming it DID get removed...

At what point did this get removed?

Did it get removed for a particular reason?

Has anyone ever produced a "standard" Makefile for building Flex on
OpenVMS?  Unfortunately I have yet to figure out a way to coerce the
blasted configure script to generate an appropriate Makefile, but alas that
frustration belongs to a different group :)
