Hello,

Has anyone compiled successfully on Ubuntu 11.10? Everything seems to compile correctly but the build fails at the end with:

(a lot of stuff omitted ...)
make[3]: Nothing to be done for `all-am'.
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/colini/dev/exult/usecode'
Making all in compiler
make[3]: Entering directory `/home/colini/dev/exult/usecode/compiler'
/bin/bash ../../ylwrap uclex.ll .c uclex.cc -- /bin/bash /home/colini/dev/exult/missing --run flex
make[3]: *** [uclex.cc] Error 1

I have flex 2.5.35 installed, tho it's not clear from the error there that flex is the problem.

Any ideas?

thanks,
Colin

I have been compiling successfully in every version of Ubuntu since 7.04. Now: did you install flex before or after ./configure? If you installed it after, please reconfigure and try compiling again. For reference, the command used for flex in my system (11.10) is Moreover, if you are not going to use the usecode compiler, you can disable it by running ./configure with --disable-compiler (IIRC).

I probably installed flex after, since I was installing build tools as the build failed. I checked out trunk again, reran the build, and it worked.

Thanks for the quick response!
