Are you saying (per your other mail) that the .c files are simply generated by a flex
that is too old, and we need to update the flex that is used to generate the .c files in
the tarball? If so, that's a relatively simple change to make in the "make a
tarball" scripts at IU.
Yes, exactly what I meant. I've already tested under Linux with flex
3.5.35, and the generated .c files also worked under Windows. So only
the a new flex to be used, then we can remove the windows flex.exe from
the tarball.
Thanks,

Ok, moving this back to devel (sorry, I replied to an earlier mail -- before
Ralph moved it to devel).
Let's figure out how to generate the relevant code that you need at "make dist"
time and not include flex.exe in the tarball -- it can still be in svn if you want/need
it. You might want to note in README.windows that flex.exe is not included in the
tarball for the reasons cited on the users thread.
I'll poke around and see if I can get the .c files in the tarball and therefore
be able to exclude flex.exe -- let me get back to you later today...

Yes, that should work but only with newer version of flex, I didn't think about
it before. But the windows flex.exe should still be available for svn checkout
build.

Hi,
No, that's not true, we did ship the flex-generated code a time ago, but
as that part of code changes sometimes, we decided to generate it during
compilation time, and the flex.exe came with the first support of
Windows (CMake).

Don't we ship the flex-generated code in the tarball anyway? If so, why do we
ship flex.exe?

I understand this file might be required for building on windows,
since I'm not I can just delete the file without issue.
However, for those of us under import restrictions, where binaries are
not allowed in, this file causes me to open the tarball and delete the
file (not a big deal, i know, i know).
But, can I put up a vote for a pure source only tree?
>> I'm very much in favor of that since we can't ship this binary in
Debian. We'd have to delete it from the tarball and repack it with every
release which is quite cumbersome. If these tools could be shipped in a
separate tarball that would be great!
Best regards
