Re: [Flex-help] Some flex patch snippets for Solaris.

Glad the two changes that are in the post-2.6.1 tree are helpful. I have plans to put out a 2.6.2 in the near future. It's not scheduled yet, but "in the next couple weeks" seems the most likely time frame.

If that option is passed, then configure sets a variable that gets put into config.h which main.c reads. If that option is not passed, then configure should try to find a suitable m4 and set the symbol as previously. The M4 environment variable is handy for certain situations that might arise as well.
