OK, thanks. I'm just trying to get a whole toolchain up and running first so that I can be sure I'm documenting the right thing. In fact I later discovered that since the kernel requires(?) a cvs-head version of binutils to build, using the debian toolchain package won't help me anyhow. I might add another page about how to do a plain source build. > ??? there hasn't been a release of flex source since 1997, > according to the date stamps in ftp.gnu.org/non-gnu/flex. > Does this mean that there's a bad build floating around? Debian have 2.5.4a-24 (which can build the toolchain) and 2.5.31-3 (which cannot). http://packages.debian.org/flex According to the changelog for the new one: lex (2.5.31-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream release. -- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Wed, 9 Apr 2003 14:12:18 -0500 According to the source tarball, the new site is <http://lex.sourceforge.net/> not gnu.org which as you say only has older versions. The ldlex.l source says "FIXME: We should not be using a flex internal interface in the first place!" (although not in reference to the particular line that fails.) So it looks like ld depends on an older version of flex. (Perhaps it forked from GNU?) Thanks, -- MartinReceived on Mon Apr 28 16:03:19 2003
