[q-lang-users] CVS head failed to build, flex yytext_ptr problems

[Peter M. <pet...@wa...>]

Hi,

Q CVS HEAD failed to build for me. These are the relevant errors:

"""

flex --version = "flex 2.5.31" (that's the latest version in the dapper 
repository)
gcc --version = "gcc (GCC) 4.0.3 (Ubuntu 4.0.3-1ubuntu4)"

Google turned up this:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=191942

If that's correct the current use of unput at least causes part of the 
problem.

Greetings,

Peter
