Hi Simon, actually I am not really sure a Homebrewed flex is needed for successfully building libngspice. As with bison, flex comes with OSX, but in an older version. The OSX version of bison (2.3, I think) is too old for building ngspiceās HEAD, so I had that in my formula already. My thinking went further that if a newer bison is needed for a HEAD build, perhaps using a newer flex might be good as well, as the two tools are often used together for lexing and parsing. So I included flex as a dependency, too. I had some discussions with the Homebrew maintainers who did not want me to add options for --enable-cider and -xspice, but to hardcode them in. Their rationale seems to be that options should only be there, when there are issues for some people. If you find an issue with Homebrewed flex, they might let me add and option for flex.
