I've made the necessary changes to release_prep, makefiles, and documentation (not sure how the INSTALL file proper is made from the sgml docs, though). lextest is removed. configure now gives a friendly warning if it finds flex 2.5.3. (In fact it seems like some lex files were already generated for distribution, but now it's all of them.)

GNU suggests putting yacc and lex files in distributions, so I can't imagine why they would do that if you need to have lib[f]l.a anyway. $ nm /usr/lib/libfl.a libmain.o: 00000000 t gcc2_compiled. 00000000 T main U yylex libyywrap.o: 00000000 t gcc2_compiled. 00000000 T yywrap > > > > If we were going to do this, I'd vote for making sure that *all* the > > yacc files are pregenerated (currently, we only take care of the larger > > ones), and then most people wouldn't need either flex or bison to build. > > > > regards, tom lane > > > > ************ > > > > > -- Peter Eisentraut Sernanders väg 10:115 peter_e@gmx.net 75262 Uppsala http://yi.org/peter-e/ Sweden
