Hello,
I am trying to compile either `gcc-4.9RC` or `gcc-4.8.2` (both give
the error) on Debian (6 or 7, it is a cluster).
There is `flex 2.5.35` installed and I even compiled my own flex `2.5.39`.
I confirmed it generates a `yy.c` output from a simple `.l` file.
Also I learned at gcc documentation, that flex shouldn't be necessary
when compiling from a release (which the gcc-4.8.2 is).
Nevertheless I always get this in some internal `configure` after
running `make`:
checking for bison... bison -y
checking for flex... flex
checking lex output file root... configure: error: cannot find
output from flex; giving up
make[2]: *** [configure-stage1-gmp] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `***/gcc-bin-8'
make[1]: *** [stage1-bubble] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `***/gcc-bin-8'
make: *** [all] Error 2
It is configured with:
../gcc-4.8.2/configure --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran
--prefix=/home/***/gcc-4.8.2
I have no idea what should I try more.
Vladimir
