Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-05-11 13:18:41 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

you'll need something scalable to address this ... patching the flex test out of configure is not such a thing

flex isnt actually used during compile time as the lex files are not updated
