[Anonymous]

Whilst trying to build on an IA-64 box with

~/src/xxdiff-3.2/src$ flex -V
flex version 2.5.4
~/src/xxdiff-3.2/src$ bison -V
bison (GNU Bison) 1.875c

~/src/xxdiff-3.2/src$ rpm -q qt
qt-3.3.3-9.3

I get the following (terminal) error:

g++ -c -pipe -DXX_DEBUG -Wall -W -g -D_REENTRANT
-DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -DQT_SHARED -DQT_NO_DEBUG
-I/usr/lib/qt-3.3/mkspecs/default -I.

ah, sorry I misread versions of flex; it appears xxdiff
requires >= than 2.5.31 whereas I have 2.5.4 and 4 is less
than 31, not greater ;)

this is a flex problem. Flex 2.5.4 from 1997!
try 2.5.33, and all problems wil disappear...
