 |
|
Hi all,
I am trying to compile KDE 3.1 Beta2 (currently I have Beta1 up and running). I get a problem on the kdepim-package:
| Code: |
checking for flex... flex
checking for flex... (cached) flex
checking for yywrap in -lfl... no
checking for yywrap in -ll... no
checking lex output file root... lex.yy
checking whether yytext is a pointer... no
configure: error: You need to have flex installed.
|
Has someone an idea what the problem could be?

Errrrm... maybe "you need to have flex installed" ? 
Yes, I know it shows as already installed a few lines above, but try re-emerging it...? Seems very odd... |

I'm not stupid (c;
Of course I tried already to remerge it and it did fine.

kdepim beta2 installs fine for me. The equivalent part of the configure is:
| Quote: |
checking for flex... flex
checking for flex... (cached) flex
checking for yywrap in -lfl... yes
checking lex output file root... lex.yy
checking whether yytext is a pointer... yes
|
which is distinctly different from yours...
What version of flex do you have installed? I'm using 2.5.22 (having said that, I think I originally built this with one of the previous versions a couple of weeks or so ago...) |

I installed the latest unstable flex (2.5.22) now, but still no change )c:
I'll try to do an ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -u kde, will see if this helps!

Next thing to check is that:
- libfl.a exists in /usr/lib/ and
- that your library path include /usr/lib (ok, I can't imagine it doesn't, but...!)
The error you get says that the flex library is not being found at the link test.
I'd be surprised if libfl.a isn't there, as it's built when you emerge flex... |

hmmm, on my system is not libfl.a (or .*)!
RPM find says it should be in the flex package, but it seems to not become installed for me?!
Anyone an idea?

It looks like the problem is therefore with the emerge of flex - libfl.a should definitely end up in /usr/lib/after emerging flex.
I can do a
| Code: | qpkg -f /usr/lib/libfl.a
sys-devel/flex *
|
and there's the proof that it comes from flex...
As to why it doesn't appear for you.. Hmm. How about reemerging flex and taking a real careful look at the output (particularly at the end when it installs, or _should_ install, the resulting files). |

very strange, it didn't seems like the emerge process installs a libfl.a!
| Code: |
/bin/install -c -m 644 ./flex.1 /var/tmp/portage/flex-2.5.4a-r5/image//usr/share/man/man1/flex.1
/bin/install -c flex /var/tmp/portage/flex-2.5.4a-r5/image//usr/bin/flex
cd /var/tmp/portage/flex-2.5.4a-r5/image//usr/bin && ln -s flex flex++
/bin/install -c -m 644 libfl.a /var/tmp/portage/flex-2.5.4a-r5/image//usr/lib/libfl.a
cd /var/tmp/portage/flex-2.5.4a-r5/image//usr/lib && ranlib libfl.a
/bin/install -c -m 644 ./FlexLexer.h /var/tmp/portage/flex-2.5.4a-r5/image//usr/include/FlexLexer.h

Well, since this is bugging me, I re-emerged flex (same version as you) and this is what I get:
| Code: |
sprog root # emerge flex

Now, as to why yours is different I alas have no idea, but maybe there's something in this that might help...? Hope so...

This is really curious.
The following line should (AFAIK) install the compiled libfl.a to /var/tmp/portage...
| Code: | | /bin/install -c -m 644 libfl.a /var/tmp/portage/flex-2.5.4a-r5/image//usr/lib/libfl.a |
But the file didn't ends there- Only the files in the /usr/bin dir become created.
I did now the following to get it work:
I pressed Strg+C after the compile process finished, CDed into the temp-flex directory and ran make install manually. Now the libfl.a is installed!
