./devel/flex, Fast clone of lex(1), the lexical scanner generator

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 2.6.4, Package name: flex-2.6.4, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

flex is a tool for generating scanners: programs which recognized
lexical patterns in text. flex reads the given input files, or its
standard input if no file names are given, for a description of a
scanner to generate. The description is in the form of pairs of
regular expressions and C code, called rules. flex generates as
output a C source file, lex.yy.c, which defines a routine yylex().
This file is compiled and linked with the -lfl library to produce an
executable. When the executable is run, it analyzes its input for
occurrences of the regular expressions. Whenever it finds one, it
executes the corresponding C code.

Required to run:
[devel/m4]

Required to build:
[converters/help2man] [pkgtools/cwrappers]

Log message:
Mass-change BUILD_DEPENDS to TOOL_DEPENDS outside mk/.
Almost all uses, if not all of them, are wrong, according to the
semantics of BUILD_DEPENDS (packages built for target available for
use _by_ tools at build-time) and TOOL_DEPEPNDS (packages built for
host available for use _as_ tools at build-time).
No change to BUILD_DEPENDS as used correctly inside buildlink3.

Log message:
flex: Remove bash dependency.
This was hidden behind a broken test section, and causing circular dependency
problems on some OS with bash -> bison -> flex -> bash.  The GNU make
requirement is still valid, but the test suite no longer requires bash.
Reported by Alver on IRC.
