CVS Winex Compilation error

I've looked around on the internet, and it seems as though winex hates flex 2.5.31, so i uninstalled and compiled 2.5.3 hoping it would help. It reduced the error I recieved when compiling winex before from a couple pages to a few lines. Would someone please tell me what am i doing wrong?

make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/flarex/winex/tools/wmc'
cd `dirname wrc/__depend__` && make depend
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/flarex/winex/tools/wrc'
bison -y  -bppy -ppp -d -t ./ppy.y
flex -Cf  -d -Ppp -8 -olex.ppl.c ./ppl.l
make[2]: flex: Command not found
make[2]: *** [lex.ppl.c] Error 127
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/flarex/winex/tools/wrc'
make[1]: *** [wrc/__depend__] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/flarex/winex/tools'
make: *** [tools/__depend__] Error 2

Compilation failed, aborting install.
[flarex@myhost winex]$ 

, also does transgaming.com provide binaries for arch or just rpms?

Re: CVS Winex Compilation error

it's just rpms, debs, and tgzs.  there's a PKGBUILD in the forums somewhere that will convert the tgz to a pacman package.

anywho, your problem.  go into /root/temp/cvswinex/tools of wherever it extracts the source.  i used the GetCVSWineX script.

under the tools directory should be the wrc and widl directories.  in there, is a file called ppl.l

using your favourite text editor, remove the big ass comment at the top of the file in both directories.

it should compile fine now.  just so you know, if you're using NPTL you'll probably run into problems, cuz i have and still haven't figured it out.

Re: CVS Winex Compilation error

I had answered the same, and then realized, flarex already mentioned he had flex installed, so I deleted my post.

if the installer says, it cannot find it, then either PATH is set wrong, or the pkg for flex is empty/uncomplete

Good point...

Re: CVS Winex Compilation error

after like a day of searching around i finally found it.  it was hidden in linuxquestions.org somewhere.  for debian users they had to install flex-old with apt, and everyone else, just delete those comments.

i'm too lazy to actually go through the comments, but i'm guessing there was a * in there somewhere which confused the compiler or something like that.

btw, did you guys get it to work with nptl?  cuz i get seg faults with pthreads on, and lstat socket not found with pthreads off.

Re: CVS Winex Compilation error

Binaries work fine with NPTL, but I'm not sure about cvs builds.

Re: CVS Winex Compilation error

the problem is that cvs winex (pthread on and off) doesn't work, AND both binaries winex3 and cedega don't work either.  the exact error messages i'm getting are in my other thread at
