Hi Kenneth, yesterday evening we investigated a little bit about this issue. While installing GCC-4.9.3-2.25.eb we get an error because: - Flex easyconfig does not work as it is (flex-2.5.39.eb) - M4 must be a dependency (checking for m4 that supports -P... configure: error: could not find m4 that supports -P) - Flex must be of type “ConfigureMake” (otherwise we get an error on EB_Toy easy block not found)
This applies to all flex easyconfigs, starting from the dummy ones (at least in our case on our new clean system).

You should open a PR for it if you do (like I should have done when I fixed it :P ) Sounds related to https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-easyconfigs/issues/2241 (but may not be). A PR would be nice, indeed. Similar PR (which got a bit out of hand): https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-easyconfigs/pull/2096 . K.
