Subject: Re: compile bison and flex
Bison does not look for Flex when run; perhaps you have a Makefile
script doing it. And Flex does not look for Yacc, which is a
different program; perhaps you have a Makefile script doing it. Flex
and Bison attempt to be compatible with each other. Bison only
attempts to be compatible with the POSIX standard Yacc-alike parts,
but not with Yacc as a program.
