As far as I was able to tell, flex does not generate a shared library. What I do is manually create a libfl.so via the following noise: gcc $CFLAGS -fpic -fPIC -Wl,-soname,libfl.so.2 -o libfl.so.$version ccl.o dfa.o ecs.o gen.o main.o misc.o nfa.o parse.o scan.o skel.o sym.o tblcmp.o yylex.o where $version is the particular version of the library and then take care of the symlinkage: cp -v libfl.so.$version /lib/ ln -vsf libfl.so.$version /lib/libfl.so.2 ln -vsf libfl.so.2 /lib/libfl.so -- Kevin Day -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/hlfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
