Package: flex Version: 2.5.35-10 Severity: normal I'm trying to compile libsbook from here:
http://simson.net/ref/sbook5/ During compilation, i get: flex -tL8B -i parse_address.flex | sed s/yy/yyaddress/g | grep -v unistd.h > parse_address.cpp flex: input rules are too complicated (>= 32000 NFA states) A web search points me to this FAQ: http://flex.sourceforge.net/manual/unnamed_002dfaq_002d88.html#unnamed_002dfaq_002d88 which contains this suggestion from Vern Paxson: > Increase the definitions in flexdef.h for: > > #define JAMSTATE -32766 /* marks a reference to the state that always jams */ > #define MAXIMUM_MNS 31999 > #define BAD_SUBSCRIPT -32767 > > recompile everything, and it should all work. Is there a reason to avoid making these changes in debian's package of flex? Or can this be chosen as a run-time option? It'd be nice to be able to build this library with debian tools. --dkg -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (200, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.0.0-1-686-pae (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages flex depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.40 ii dpkg 1.16.0.3 ii install-info 4.13a.dfsg.1-8 ii libc6 2.13-18 ii m4 1.4.16-2 Versions of packages flex recommends: ii gcc [c-compiler] 4:4.6.1-2 ii gcc-4.5 [c-compiler] 4.5.3-5 ii gcc-4.6 [c-compiler] 4.6.1-4 Versions of packages flex suggests: ii bison 1:2.4.1.dfsg-3 ii build-essential 11.5 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
