See "version.h" for the exact patch-level. + +See the file "NEWS" to find out what is new in this Flex release. + +Read the file "INSTALL" for general installation directives. Peek near +the beginning of the file "Makefile.in" for special DEFS values. On most +systems, you can just run the "configure" script and type "make" to build +flex; then "make check" to test whether it built correctly; and if it did, +then "make install" to install it. + +If you're feeling adventurous, you can also issue "make bigcheck" (be +prepared to wait a while). + +Note that flex is distributed under a copyright very similar to that of +BSD Unix, and not under the GNU General Public License (GPL), except for +the "configure" script, which is covered by the GPL. + +Many thanks to the 2.5 beta-testers for finding bugs and helping test and +increase portability: Stan Adermann, Scott David Daniels, Charles Elliott, +Joe Gayda, Chris Meier, James Nordby, Terrence O'Kane, Karsten Pahnke, +Francois Pinard, Pat Rankin, Andreas Scherer, Marc Wiese, Nathan Zelle. + +Please send bug reports and feedback to: Vern Paxson (vern@ee.lbl.gov). + + +The flex distribution consists of the following files: + + README This message + + NEWS Differences between the various releases + + INSTALL General installation information + + COPYING flex's copyright + + conf.in, configure.in, configure, Makefile.in, install.sh, + mkinstalldirs + elements of the "autoconf" auto-configuration process + + flexdef.h, parse.y, scan.l, ccl.c, dfa.c, ecs.c, gen.c, main.c, + misc.c, nfa.c, sym.c, tblcmp.c, yylex.c + source files + + version.h version of this flex release + + flex.skl flex scanner skeleton + mkskel.sh script for converting flex.skl to C source file skel.c + skel.c pre-converted C version of flex.skl + + libmain.c flex library (-lfl) sources + libyywrap.c + + initscan.c pre-flex'd version of scan.l + + FlexLexer.h header file for C++ lexer class + + flex.1 user documentation + + MISC/ a directory containing miscellaneous contributions. + See MISC/README for details. |
