I'm trying to compile nmh-1.0.4 on Cygwin 1.0, NT4.0 SP6, and have encountered the following problems. 1. It doesn't recognize that I have "flex", and not "lex": lex -nt ./dtimep.lex | sed -f ./lexedit.sed > dtimep.c lex: not found LEX FAILED: using pre-lexed dtimep.c 2. If I link "lex" to "flex", I get: lex -nt ./dtimep.lex | sed -f ./lexedit.sed > dtimep.c This produces a file containing the one line: /* A lexical scanner generated by flex */ 3. If I get rid of the sed script, I get: flex -nt ./dtimep.lex > dtimep.c ./dtimep.lex:44: `timezone' redeclared as different kind of symbol /usr/i686-cygwin/include/time.h:81: previous declaration of `timezone' ./dtimep.lex: In function `dparsetime': ./dtimep.lex:176: `start_cond' undeclared (first use in this function) ./dtimep.lex:176: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once ./dtimep.lex:176: for each function it appears in.) ./dtimep.lex:246: warning: register variable `yy_cp' used in nested function ./dtimep.lex:254: warning: register variable `yy_bp' used in nested function ./dtimep.lex:256: warning: register variable `yy_current_state' used in nested f unction ./dtimep.lex:278: warning: register variable `yy_act' used in nested function ./dtimep.lex:570: parse error before `static' ./dtimep.lex:588: warning: return makes pointer from integer without a cast ./dtimep.lex:596: warning: return makes pointer from integer without a cast ./dtimep.lex:603: `number_to_move' undeclared (first use in this function) ./dtimep.lex:606: `dest' undeclared (first use in this function) ./dtimep.lex:606: `source' undeclared (first use in this function) ./dtimep.lex:673: `ret_val' undeclared (first use in this function) ./dtimep.lex: In function `yylex': ./dtimep.lex:428: parse error at end of input dtime.c:241: warning: `yy_flex_alloc' used but never defined dtime.c:243: warning: `yy_flex_free' used but never defined dtime.c:271: warning: `yy_get_next_buffer' used but never defined dtime.c:272: warning: `yy_fatal_error' used but never defined I guess this supports the comments in the Makefile that say that this doesn't work with flex. My question to this, is why doesn't it work with flex? What's all this hacking with the sed script supposed to do? Unfortunately, none of the rationale behind this decision of using lex plus the sed script is documented, so it would take some work to figure out what's going on and why. 4. There's some problem with the definition of timezone in the pre-lexed version of dtimep.c. make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/nmh-1.0.4/zotnet/tws' gcc -c -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I../.. -I. -I../.. -O2 dtimep.c dtimep.c:17: `timezone' redeclared as different kind of symbol /usr/i686-cygwin/include/time.h:81: previous declaration of `timezone' make: *** [dtimep.o] Error 1 Fixing this with something like: diff -u -r1.1 zotnet/tws/dtimep.c --- dtimep.c 2000/04/28 21:12:59 1.1 +++ dtimep.c 2000/04/28 21:13:18 @@ -12,7 +12,7 @@ # include <sys/timeb.h> #endif -#if !defined(HAVE_TM_GMTOFF) && defined(HAVE_TZSET) +#if !(defined(HAVE_TM_GMTOFF) || ! defined(_TIME_H_)) && defined(HAVE_TZSET) extern int daylight; extern long timezone; extern char *tzname[]; results in: % make gcc -c -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I../.. -I. -I../.. -O2 dtimep.c ./dtimep.lex: In function `dparsetime': ./dtimep.lex:189: invalid operands to binary / make: *** [dtimep.o] Error 1 and here, it's not clear what the right answer is. Any ideas? Help! STeve
