Karl: The same problem was also reported as bug 65730, with a patch supplied by Łukasz Stelmach. That patch is preferable to Bogdan's patch, for two reasons. First, Łukasz's patch uses $@ to forward *all* arguments to AC_PROG_LEX, regardless of what they are, making it robust to the possibility of *more* arguments being added to AC_PROG_LEX in the future (for example, we might decide to add an option to specify that you need Flex specifically). Second, Łukasz's patch checks whether AC_PROG_LEX has already been invoked, and if so does not run it again. That makes the updated AM_PROG_LEX continue to be compatible with the workaround we (Autoconf) have been suggesting for this issue, namely to write AC_PROG_LEX([noyywrap]) AM_PROG_LEX It looks like Bogdan's patch does include a new set of tests that are worth preserving, but please use Łukasz's actual code change. (I regret I cannot volunteer to merge the two patches as I am in the middle of reinstalling the operating system on my workstation, and that's already taken a week and a half with no end in sight. You know how these things go, I'm sure.) zw
