Bug 23633 – unixODBC don't compile with flex 2.5.31

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Description Bernd Martin Wollny 2003-06-27 23:03:25 UTC]

hello, 

unixODBC stop compiling with the following Error 

lex.l: In function `yyerror':
lex.l:241: error: `YY_FLUSH_BUFFER' undeclared (first use in this function)
lex.l:241: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
lex.l:241: error: for each function it appears in.)
make[1]: *** [lex.lo] Error 1

in lex.c are a undefined of YY_FLUSH_BUFFER in front of the include of lex.l. 
As work around we can define YY_FLUSH_BUFFER  in lex.l again.

workaround patch will appended soon. 

bye bernd

Patch to fix YY_FLUSH_BUFFER problem 


this patch are a work around. To solve the Problem there must be checked why
YY_FLUSH_BUFFER will be undefined drictly befor including lex.l

Bernd: Does this patch work with newer and older versions of flex? 

[Comment 3 Ryan Phillips (RETIRED) 2003-10-05 18:50:16 UTC]

Appears to work with flex 2.5.4a.
