1 Miscellaneous flex stuff. The items which have been tested with flex 2.5 are:
3 - texinfo/, a subdirectory containing a "texinfo" version of flex(1)
4 and the corresponding "info" files (contributed by Francois Pinard).
6 - VMS/, a subdirectory containing makefiles, configuration files,
7 run-time support, and installation notes for building flex 2.5
8 on VMS (contributed by Pat Rankin).
10 - Borland/ - makefile and config.h for Borland 4.02 compiler
11 (contributed by Terrence O Kane, who notes that no source
12 code changes were necessary).
14 - NT/ - Makefile and config.h for NT, contributed by Stan Adermann.
16 - OS2/ - Makefile and config.h for building flex under OS/2,
17 contributed by Kai Uwe Rommel.
19 - Amiga/: notes on building flex for the Amiga, contributed
22 - parse.c, parse.h - output of running yacc (byacc, actually)
23 on parse.y. If your system doesn't have a flavor of yacc available,
24 copy these into the main flex source directory instead.
26 - flex.man - preformatted version of flex man page
29 The following have been tested using flex 2.4:
31 - debflex.awk, an awk script for anotating flex debug output.
32 It presently only works with gawk and mawk, not with "old"
35 - NeXT: ProjectBuilder.app support for use in the NeXT world.
37 - Notes on building flex for the Macintosh using Think-C,
38 in the Macintosh/ subdirectory.
40 - testxxLexer.l, a sample C++ program that uses flex's scanner
43 - fastwc/, a subdirectory containing examples of how to use flex
44 to write progressively higher-performance versions of the Unix
45 "wc" utility. This certainly should work with 2.5, but hasn't
48 - Borland.old/: notes on building flex 2.4 for Borland C++ 3.1
49 on MS-DOS. These shouldn't be needed for flex 2.5. Included
50 only in case you encounter unanticipated difficulties.
52 - EBCDIC: contact information for building flex for EBCDIC.
55 The following are all out-of-date with respect to flex release 2.4 (and
56 in general up-to-date for flex 2.3):
58 - Atari/Atari.patches, patches for porting flex to the Atari and
61 - A number of notes and Makefiles for compiling flex under MS-DOS,
62 in the MSDOS/ subdirectory.
64 - Notes on building flex for MVS, in the MVS/ subdirectory.
66 If any of this is out-of-date and can be deleted, please let me know.
68 And the following is included for compatibility with some broken versions
71 - alloca.c, a public-domain, mostly-portable version of the
72 alloca() routine (used by bison's parsers) written by D. A. Gwyn.
75 Many thanks to those who contributed these files. Updated versions will
