When I compile winex (latest from CVS), I get this error:
gcc -c -I. -I. -I../../include -I../../include -g -O2 -Wall -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -fno-keep-static-consts -D__int8=char - D__int16=short -D__int32=int "-D__int64=long long" -D__WINE__ -D_REENTRANT -I/usr/X11R6/include -o lex.ppl.o lex.ppl.c
./ppl.l:81:1: warning: "/*" within comment
./ppl.l: In function `pplex':
./ppl.l:305: `seen_junk' undeclared (first use in this function)
./ppl.l:305: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
./ppl.l:305: for each function it appears in.)
...
I looked into wine/tools/ppl.l file, but it contains some bizarre code I dont understand. I have gcc version 3.2.3
Can somebody help me with this please?
I tried installing 2 versions of Flex (there is only 2) but give me the same error.
I downloaded WineX from CVS with the infos on their web page and tried to compile like this :
./configure --enable-opengl #no error
make depend #no error
make #error
The solution that should work for everyone is to install flex-old, because the new flex version brought up many problems using older flex scripts. If that doesn't work for you, remove the long comments at the beginning.
I had this problem, and I found this thread from google. I can't understand why that removing the comments would make it work (It does, I'm compiling at this moment). Could anyone explain to med why it suddenly works?
