This is a general Cygwin question, not a Cygwin/XFree86 question. It should have been sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED], not [EMAIL PROTECTED]
However, I happen to know the answer you want to hear. The problem is that 'flex' 2.5.31-1 sucks; it can't build anything in the XFree86 tree. Something is horribly wrong with it, but I don't care to get involved in fixing it. As such, I have upgraded flex to the 'test' version 2.5.4-2. You can do this in Cygwin's setup.exe, but you have to keep manually reselecting that version each time you run setup.exe because it will always try to replace it with the 'curr' 2.5.31-1 version.
Good luck, I hope that helps,
Harold
