The Flex package contains a utility for generating programs that recognize patterns in text.
The following patch contains fixes to generate proper GCC 4.4.x code:
patch -Np1 -i ../flex-2.5.35-gcc44-1.patch
Prepare Flex for compilation:
CC="gcc ${BUILDN32}" ./configure --prefix=/usr \
--libdir=/usr/lib32
Compile the package:
make libfl.a libfl_pic.a
Install the package:
make install-libLIBRARIES
There are some packages that expect to find the lex library in /usr/lib32. Create a symlink to account for this:
ln -sv libfl.a /usr/lib32/libl.a
