| This is release 2.5 of flex. See "version.h" for the exact patch-level. |
| |
| See the file "NEWS" to find out what is new in this Flex release. |
| |
| Read the file "INSTALL" for general installation directives. Peek near |
| the beginning of the file "Makefile.in" for special DEFS values. On most |
| systems, you can just run the "configure" script and type "make" to build |
| flex; then "make check" to test whether it built correctly; and if it did, |
| then "make install" to install it. |
| |
| If you're feeling adventurous, you can also issue "make bigcheck" (be |
| prepared to wait a while). |
| |
| Note that flex is distributed under a copyright very similar to that of |
| BSD Unix, and not under the GNU General Public License (GPL), except for |
| the "configure" script, which is covered by the GPL. |
| |
| Many thanks to the 2.5 beta-testers for finding bugs and helping test and |
| increase portability: Stan Adermann, Scott David Daniels, Charles Elliott, |
| Joe Gayda, Chris Meier, James Nordby, Terrence O'Kane, Karsten Pahnke, |
| Francois Pinard, Pat Rankin, Andreas Scherer, Marc Wiese, Nathan Zelle. |
