#174 cscope needs [f]lex to build
Hi,
This is Issac Samuel working for Wipro Technologies. I
would like to use cscope in cygwin environment. Hence,
I downloaded the recent version 15.5 version. I ran
configure file and when I tried ot run make, I am getting
the following error.
issac@120709-2w101 ~/csc
$ make
make all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/issac/csc'
Making all in doc
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/issac/csc/doc'
make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/issac/csc/doc'
Making all in src
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/issac/csc/src'
/bin/bash ../ylwrap `test -f 'fscanner.l' ||
echo './'`fscanner.l .c fscanner.c -- :
make[2]: *** [fscanner.c] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/issac/csc/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/issac/csc'
make: *** [all] Error 2
I have attached the config.log file.
Could you please tell me about what could be the
problem and what are the corrective actions ? My mail id

what happens when you run this command:
/bin/bash ../ylwrap `test -f 'fscanner.l' || echo
'./'`fscanner.l .c fscanner.c -- :
by hand in the /home/issac/csc/src subdirectory?

... yet another person who tries to build cscope, but
doesn't have flex installed.
Fix: get and install flex (and bison), then restart the
cscope installation procedure from the 'configure' step.
