Shall I call it a bug? since a The configure check doesn't checks the version number but a functionality that was implemented after 2.5.4. If that check fails on FreeBSD it means the flex version is too old. > newer version is actually installed but the version check fails. > > http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/emulators/wine/Makefile?rev=1.320;content-type=text%2Fplain > > But if you download the Wine source and try to compile your out of > luck unless you remove the version check from configure, which is what > Ive done as a temporary fix. That doesn't make much sense as the Wine compilation should fail as the configure check uses a flex feature used in Wine from the commit e470475151692bd498124f1d3a7e2fca4be9092a. That is in wpp so it should die pretty soon during the build. bye michael
