Hello, the C++ mode of flex 2.5.4a is broken. It generates non-ISO conformant C++ code which makes any recent gcc barf. The problem seems to be not GnuWin32 specific, but that's I ran into it (full force), so why not save you folks some trouble. Patching is simple though: (1) in flex.skl, replace the line "class istream;" with these two lines: #include <iosfwd> using namespace std; (2) in FlexLexer.h, replace all occurences of "istream" with "std::istream" and ditto "ostream" with "std::ostream" This link has some explanation on what goes wrong: http://tinyurl.com/m7oet. However the poster only presented part (1) of the patch. I needed (2) too to get it to work. If somebody tells me how to submit a formal patch, I'll do it (one day). ______________________________________________________________________ You are receiving this email because you elected to monitor this forum.
