Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-05-11 13:08:54 UTC
The configure of your package checks for flex, even though your package might not contain .l files that flex uses to generate parsers. Your ebuild does not list a dependency on flex as per http://tinderbox.dev.gentoo.org/misc/dindex/sys-devel/flex .

Either disable the flex test during configure to avoid false positive, or add the dependency upon flex if it's needed by your package.

Thanks in advance,
Diego

So, there is a dependency on flex in gmp, but it is a conditional dependency for some demo app to compile and run.  So, I'm not going to add the dependency in the ebuild, nor remove it from the application since it is a true dependency.
