From help-octave-request at bevo dot che dot wisc dot edu Fri Jan 22 03:42:44 1999 Subject: complie error SGI IRIX6.4: 3rd From: Daniel Heiserer To: "help-octave at bevo dot che dot wisc dot edu" Date: Fri, 22 Jan 1999 10:42:03 +0100 Hi, I am still trying to do what I did some time ago (v.11): compiling octave on IRIX6.4. I have the latest "patch" now. That works. The compiler runs and than he stops: c++ -c -I. -I.. -I../liboctave -I../src -I../libcruft/misc -I../glob -I../glob -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions -fno-implicit-templates -g -O2 -Wall lex.cc lex.l:69: #error lex.l requires flex version 2.5.4 or later Why the hell do I need flex, if configure tells me: "configure: warning: I didn't find flex, but it's only a problem if you need to reconstruct lex.cc" ???? Is it because of the patches (till '95)? I got flex now, but configure doesn't find it, why? What is configures path? flex is in the same directory as c++ (egcs). Do I have to make a distclean before rerunnign configure? -- Mit freundlichen Gruessen Daniel Heiserer ----- -------------------------------------------------------------- Dipl.-Phys.
