Update of sr #110269 (project autoconf): Status: None => Done
_______________________________________________________ Follow-up Comment #6: Thanks for the bug report and detailed analysis. I looked into the commit that you mentioned, and the problem seems to be that it introduced an AC_MSG_ERROR which causes 'configure' to fail entirely, whereas what it should do is give up on 'flex'. In your case you have a cross-build where 'flex' (on your build platform) is available but the 'flex' library (on your host platform) is not, and this causes the AC_MSG_ERROR to trigger. For your particular case I expect it's better for 'configure' to behave as if 'flex' does not exist, so I installed the attached patch into Autoconf master on Savannah. Please give it a try. I am boldly marking this bug report as "done" but will change its status back if the patch doesn't fix things for you.
