Suspicious - should say "flex" not "lex".

What do you get from the command "which lex"? Do you have a shell alias for
"lex" - e.g. does "alias lex" show an existing alias?

FYI this is what I get in the same environment:

[...]

checking for yywrap in -lfl... yes

Hey, that worked! Thanks so much! I didn't have flex installed, but
even when I did install it, "lex" still didn't work, so I just did a
"alias lex="flex"" and it worked.

Sorry it took me a while to reply. I've been out of town and just got
back and chekced messages.

Thanks again,

James

How to make a program compile by Cygwin executable in Windows ?

by: Abby | last post by:

I'm now using Cygwin as my compiler for C code. I use Dev-c++ as my editor. The reason why I chose Cygwin compiler instead of the compiler that came with Dev-C++ is that I believe it uses the same environment as in Linux, so that I don't have to write different sourcecode for both OS. Eventhough, I don't understand about Linux much, and I'm still a beginner in programming, I still have to make my program compatible with both OS (Windows...
