FLEX on Windows?

92 New Member
I have code that uses FLEX and Bison on windows to generate a parser. It was configured awhile back by a colleague using FLEX 2.5.4a and builds on Solaris, Windows and Linux using FLEX 2.5.4. Things worked fine until I started adding symbols to my lexer now I get and error about "32000 NFA states".

As I wold rather not limit myself to limits imposed by 1997 software, I looked and found an update which is 2.5.33. However, no where can I find info on using this package with windows, even with cygwin installed. Anyone know if its possible to use and if so how to build? Don't knwo what my options are.
