1 Miscellaneous flex stuff. The items which have been tested with flex 2.5 are: 2 3 - texinfo/, a subdirectory containing a "texinfo" version of flex(1) 4 and the corresponding "info" files (contributed by Francois Pinard). 5 6 - VMS/, a subdirectory containing makefiles, configuration files, 7 run-time support, and installation notes for building flex 2.5 8 on VMS (contributed by Pat Rankin). 9 10 - Borland/ - makefile and config.h for Borland 4.02 compiler 11 (contributed by Terrence O Kane, who notes that no source 12 code changes were necessary). 13 14 - NT/ - Makefile and config.h for NT, contributed by Stan Adermann. 15 16 - OS2/ - Makefile and config.h for building flex under OS/2, 17 contributed by Kai Uwe Rommel. 18 19 - Amiga/: notes on building flex for the Amiga, contributed 20 by Andreas Scherer. 21 22 - parse.c, parse.h - output of running yacc (byacc, actually) 23 on parse.y. If your system doesn't have a flavor of yacc available, 24 copy these into the main flex source directory instead. 25 26 - flex.man - preformatted version of flex man page 27 28 29 The following have been tested using flex 2.4: 30 31 - debflex.awk, an awk script for anotating flex debug output. 32 It presently only works with gawk and mawk, not with "old" 33 or "new" awk. 34 35 - NeXT: ProjectBuilder.app support for use in the NeXT world. 36 37 - Notes on building flex for the Macintosh using Think-C, 38 in the Macintosh/ subdirectory. 39 40 - testxxLexer.l, a sample C++ program that uses flex's scanner 41 class option ("-+"). 42 43 - fastwc/, a subdirectory containing examples of how to use flex 44 to write progressively higher-performance versions of the Unix 45 "wc" utility. This certainly should work with 2.5, but hasn't 46 been tested. 47 48 - Borland.old/: notes on building flex 2.4 for Borland C++ 3.1 49 on MS-DOS. These shouldn't be needed for flex 2.5. Included 50 only in case you encounter unanticipated difficulties. 51 52 - EBCDIC: contact information for building flex for EBCDIC. 53 54 55 The following are all out-of-date with respect to flex release 2.4 (and 56 in general up-to-date for flex 2.3): 57 58 - Atari/Atari.patches, patches for porting flex to the Atari and 59 to Minix. 60 61 - A number of notes and Makefiles for compiling flex under MS-DOS, 62 in the MSDOS/ subdirectory. 63 64 - Notes on building flex for MVS, in the MVS/ subdirectory. 65 66 If any of this is out-of-date and can be deleted, please let me know. 67 68 And the following is included for compatibility with some broken versions 69 of bison: 70 71 - alloca.c, a public-domain, mostly-portable version of the 72 alloca() routine (used by bison's parsers) written by D. A. Gwyn. 73 74 75 Many thanks to those who contributed these files. Updated versions will 76 be appreciated! 77
